IMPORTANT

Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation recommendations before carrying out any repair (see Airbag and pretensioners: Precautions for the repair) (88C, Airbags and pretensioners).

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 tool.

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

IMPORTANT

Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (pretensioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or naked flame - they may be triggered.
