Airbag Safety Precautions
Airbag Safety Precautions
Testing, removing, installing and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
When working on the airbag system, the battery ground strap must be disconnected. No waiting time is necessary after disconnecting battery. When connecting the airbag system to a voltage source, there must be no person present inside the vehicle.
Before picking up (touching) the airbag unit, the mechanic/technician must electrostatically discharge him/herself. This is achieved by touching a suitable metal part, for example, a water pipe, heater pipe or metal frame.
Airbag units should be installed immediately upon removal from shipping package.
Airbag unit is to be returned to shipping package when there is an interruption in work.
It is not acceptable to leave airbag unit unattended.
Airbag units which have been removed should be stored so that padded side is facing up.
Airbag units that have fallen onto a hard surface or show signs of damage must not be installed in vehicle.
