GENERAL INFORMATION

Storage

Airbag modules and seat belt pretensioners are 
classed as explosive devices. For overnight and 
longer term storage, they must be stored in a secure 
steel cabinet which has been approved as suitable 
for the purpose and has been registered by the local 
authority.

For the temporary storage of an airbag module or 
seat belt pretensioner during service, place in a 
designated storage area. If there is no designated 
storage area available, store in the luggage 
compartment of the vehicle and inform the workshop 
supervisor. Always observe the following 
precautions when temporarily storing an airbag 
module:

l

Ensure the cover is facing upwards and the 
luggage compartment is secured.

l

Always keep components cool, dry and free 
from contamination.

l

Do not allow anything to rest on the airbag 
module.

l

Store any removed airbag assembly on a 
secure flat surface away from electrical 
equipment and heat sources exceeding 85

°

C 

(185

°

F).

WARNING: Store the airbag module or seat belt 
pre-tensioner in a designated storage area. If 
there is no designated storage area available, 
store in the locked luggage compartment/
loadspace of the vehicle and inform the 
workshop supervisor.

Installation and testing precautions
The integrity of SRS system components are critical 
for safety reasons. Ensure the following precautions 
are always adhered to:

l

Never install used SRS components from 
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS 
component.

l

When repairing an SRS system, only use 
genuine new parts.

l

Never apply electrical power to an SRS 
component unless instructed to do so as part of 
an approved test procedure.

l

Special Torx bolts are necessary for installing 
the airbag assembly. Do not use other bolts. 
Ensure bolts are tightened to the specified 
torque.

l

Ensure that SRS component fixings are 
correctly positioned and torqued during service 
and repair.

l

Always use new fixings when replacing an SRS 
component.

l

Ensure the airbag DCU is always installed 
correctly. There must not be any gap between 
the DCU and the bracket to which it is mounted. 
An incorrectly mounted unit could cause the 
system to malfunction.

l

The airbag DCU is a non-serviceable 
component and no attempt should be made to 
repair or modify the unit.

l

Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. 
It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has 
been deployed, it cannot be repaired or reused.

l

If you suspect an airbag assembly could be 
defective, install a new unit and dispose of the 
old unit. Manually deploy the old unit before 
disposal.

WARNING: Keep clear of the deployment zone 
when working on or near an airbag module. 
Accidental deployment could cause serious 
injury.
