IMPORTANT
When the passenger airbag module is triggered,
the consequent damage caused to the attach-
ments always requires the dashboard to be
replaced. Do not forget to affix the label forbid-
ding the installation of a rear-facing child seat on
the passenger seat to the side of the new dash-
board.
IMPORTANT
Whenever the passenger airbag module is
removed, it is essential to replace the nuts or
bolts that hold the module to the dashboard with
new ones.
IMPORTANT
Check the airbag computer using the Diagnostic
tool. Any failure to follow these instructions may
lead to system malfunctions, or even result in the
incorrect triggering of the airbags.
