IMPORTANT
To avoid all risk of damage to the systems, apply
the safety and cleanliness instructions and opera-
tion recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 88C, Air bag and Pretensioners, Air-
bag and pretensioners: Precautions for the
repair, page 88C-6) .
IMPORTANT
To eliminate the risk of any accident, do not reuse
pyrotechnic components.
It is essential to destroy pretensioners or airbags
before scrapping a vehicle or a part only.
WARNING
- Each part is intended for a specific vehicle type
and should not be fitted on another vehicle under
any circumstances. The parts are not interchange-
able.
- Do not trigger pretensioners which are to be
returned under warranty because of a faulty stalk.
This makes analysis of the part by the supplier
impossible. Return the defective part to Techline in
the packaging of the new part.
WARNING
The destruction procedure cannot be carried out if
local regulations require a special procedure which
has been confirmed and published by the Fault find-
ing, Repair and Procedures Department.
Note:
If triggering is not possible (faulty ignition module)
return the part to Techline.

Note:
The airbags must be destroyed outside the work-
shop, in an area with sufficient space.
The airbags to be destroyed must be removed.
Note:
If the airbag has two levels of activation (i.e. it is
fitted with two connectors), destroy both connec-
tors.
