In the event of a side impact of sufficient force,
the corresponding side air bag (on the impact
side) inflates on the door side, to protect the head
and thorax of the seat occupant.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not put covers on the front seats.
• Do not put anything in the way which will ob-
struct inflation of the air bags.
• In the event of work being carried out on the
vehicle sill (on the side impact sensor, on the
bodywork, on the seat belt inertia reel,...), the
air bag unit must be locked using the fault
finding tool.
• Any operation involving removal and refitting
of the seat trim on a seat back fitted with a
side air bag, must not be carried out for the
time being.
In case of a fault on the air bag cushion or follo-
wing its inflation, the whole seat must be repla-
ced following the specific Parts Department or-
der procedure .
Reminder : for vehicles fitted with self contained
side air bags, refer to Technical Note 3064A.
IMPORTANT : the pyrotechnic systems (pretensio-
ners, front and side air bags) must be checked
using a fault finding tool :
- following an accident in which the air bags
did not inflate,
- following a theft or attempted theft of the ve-
hicle,
- before selling a second hand vehicle.

OPERATION OF SIDE AIR BAGS
When the ignition is switched on, the control war-
ning light for these air bag and pretensioner sys-
tems is illuminated for several seconds and then is
extinguished.
The air bag and pretensioner system computer is
then on standby as are the side air bags impact
sensors located in the two inner sills of the vehicle.
In the event of a side impact of sufficient force,
the side impact sensor on the impact side sends a
signal to the air bag and pretensioner system
computer , after having had confirmation of an
impact from the electronic safety sensor (incorpo-
rated in the unit).
The unit triggers the ignition of the pyrotechnic
gas generators in the seat which inflate the air
bag cushion (on the impact side).
The side air bags are not triggered during:
- a frontal impact,
- a rear impact,
- an impact on the opposite side.
When triggered, a pyrotechnic gas generator pro-
duces an explosion and a small amount of smoke.
NOTE :the computer and ignition modules supply
normally comes from the vehicle battery.
However, an energy reserve is included in the
computer in case the battery is disconnected at
the start of the impact.
REMINDER : for vehicles fitted with self contained
air bags, see Technical Note 3064A.
COMPUTER
Two types of computer are assembled on these ve-
hicles according to their equipment :
• A unit supplied by a 30 track yellow connector
for vehicles without side air bags. This must be
configured according to the vehicle’s equip-
ment (see configuration).
• A unit supplied by a 50 track orange connector
for vehicles with side air bags.
These units comprise :
- two electronic decelerometers for front air bags
and pretensioners,
- an electronic safety sensor for non-self contai-
ned side air bags (unit with 50 track orange
connector only),
- connections with side electronic sensors in the
inner sills (unit with 50 track orange connector
only),
- an ignition circuit for the different pyrotechnic
systems ,
- an energy reserve,
- a fault finding circuit with memorisation of the
faults detected,
- a control circuit for the warning light on the ins-
trument panel,
- a communication interface K - L via the fault fin-
ding socket.
IMPORTANT
Before removing the computer, it must be locked
using one of the fault finding tools (
XR25, NXR or
OPTIMA 5800).
When this operation is activated,all the ignition
lines are inhibited and the air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is illuminated (new computers
are delivered in this condition).
See following procedure.

Special features after triggering
These types of unit (30 or 50 track) can accept up
to four triggerings maximum. Therefore it is not
necessary to replace them each time the air bags
or pretensioners are triggered .
In the event of being triggered, the warning light
on the instrument panel is illuminated, but the
computer does not lock the ignition lines which
have not been triggered. These remain in opera-
tion.
On the other hand, the computer locks the memo-
rised faults in order to prevent accidental erasing
of the context register for the impact which cau-
sed triggering.
These contexts can later be used to simplify the
repair of the vehicles involved in accidents and al-
so for examination needs.
IMPORTANT, during repair following an impact,
an unlocking command must be carried out follo-
wed by a locking command for the computer to
lock all of the ignition lines.
Erasing memorised faults is only possible follo-
wing a computer unlocking command.
If the fault finding tool does not recommend re-
placing the computer, only replace the triggered
components and check that there are no faults.
When everything is correct, unlock the computer
using a fault finding tool; the system is again ope-
rational.
If the fault finding tool recommends replacing the
computer, it will indicate either :
• that the computer has triggered four times ei-
ther just the pretensioners or the pretensio-
ners and air bags or the side air bag which is
not self contained (according to equipment),
• or an internal fault in the computer .
In these two circumstances, replace the computer.Special notes for replacing the computer
A new computer must be fitted to the vehicle be-
fore reconnecting its connector (tightening tor-
que : 0.8 daN.m).
The arrow on the computer must point towards
the front of the vehicle.
After connecting the connector, carry out a check
using the fault finding tool and proceed with
configuration if the vehicle does not have a pas-
senger air bag.
When everything is correct, unlock the computer
using a fault finding tool; the system is again ope-
rational.

OPERATION ON THE TRIGGERING LINES
In the event of a fault noted on one of these lines,
the component must be replaced and not repai-
red.
This safety device can not tolerate any conventio-
nal repair operation on the wiring or connectors.
The air bag and pretensioner triggering lines are
integrated in the passenger compartment wiring
harness. In order to make repairs easier, the re-
placement method consists of cutting the two ex-
tremities of the faulty wiring and making the
new wiring follow the same route along the pas-
senger compartment wiring harness.
IMPORTANT: when refitting the new wiring, en-
sure that it is not subject to damage and that the
original cleanliness has been respected.
Special case : the connector with lugs
A series of vehicles are fitted with a red connector
with lugs(A) passenger air bag module side.
