IMPORTANT
To avoid any risk of triggering when working on
or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pre-
tensioners), 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 (igni-
tion on).
IMPORTANT
Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (preten-
sioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or
naked flame - they may be triggered.

correctly positioned. Check that the teeth are
interlocked and not in the tooth on tooth position.
Note:
The amount of effort required to operate the han-
dle is determined by how much it is tightened.
Test to determine the correct tightening. The
measurement of effor t must be made with a
torque wrench (Unlocking effort - 10N minimum /
Locking effor t - 60N maximum).
