Accident without airbag deployment
- If the Airbag Warning Lamp -K75- does not indicate a malfunction, it is not necessary to replace the airbag/belt-tensioner components.

After replacing the airbag units or the control unit, affix stickers (only tear-off strips) to the registration card and return the registration card to the relevant Sales Center or to the Importer for registration.
