Installing

WARNING

Observe safety instructions for pyrotechnic components → Chapter.

Before handling pyrotechnic components (e.g. connecting the electrical connector), the person handling them must ensure that he/she is “electrically discharged”. To do this e.g. briefly touch the door striker plate.

Install in reverse order, but note the following:

–	If parts of the belt system are removed because of an accident, the belt system bolts must be renewed.

Note

Ensure that the electrical connectors are pushed fully onto stop and engage audibly.

WARNING

Battery must be connected with ignition switched on. If pyrotechnic components (e.g. airbag, seat belt tensioners) are repaired incorrectly, undesired triggering may occur after the battery is connected. Ensure that nobody is in vehicle when connecting battery.
