IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation
recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see Airbag and pretensioners: Precautions

IMPORTANT
To avoid any risk of triggering when working on or
near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pretensioners),
lock the airbag computer using the diagnostic

When this function is activated, all the trigger lines
are inhibited and the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel lights up continuously (ignition
