AIRBAG SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vehicles equipped with an airbag and seat belt tensioner system can be identified
by a sticker with the airbag symbol on the windscreen and the word "AIRBAG" on
the airbag unit on the steering wheel. A vehicle equipped with an airbag also has an
automatic seat belt tensioner.
Equipment or objects using strong electromagnetic radiation in the
vicinity of the airbag or seat belt tensioner system may cause this
system to fail or, in extreme cases, may cause the system to be
activated. The use of such equipment or objects in the vicinity of
airbag/seat belt tensioner systems is therefore not recommended.
Work
- The safety precautions laid down must be observed when repairing, removing or
replacing the airbag or seat belt tensioner system or parts thereof. For this
reason, have this work carried out by an approved Service dealer or workshop
only.
- Do not make any modifications to the airbag and seat belt tensioner system or
parts thereof. This would cause an injury hazard and correct activation can then
no longer be guaranteed.
- Safety precautions regarding the airbag and seat belt tensioner system must be
observed when the vehicle is scrapped or dismantled.
- Retrofitting of accessories is only permitted if the accessories have been
approved for vehicles with an airbag and seat belt tensioner. Installation must
take place at the position indicated and according to the procedure specified by.
