IMPORTANT
To avoid all risk of damage to the systems, apply
the safety and cleanliness instructions and opera-
tion recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 88C, Air bag and Pretensioners, Air-
bag and pretensioners: Precautions for the
repair, page 88C-1) .
IMPORTANT
To eliminate the risk of any accident, do not reuse
pyrotechnic components.
It is essential to destroy pretensioners or airbags
before scrapping a vehicle or a par t only.
WARNING
-Each part is intended for a specific vehicle type
and should not be fitted on another vehicle under
any circumstances. The parts are not interchan-
geable.
-Do not trigger pretensioners which are to be retur-
ned under warranty because of a faulty stalk. This
makes analysis of the part by the supplier impossi-
ble. Return the defective part to Techline in the
packaging of the new part.
WARNING
The destr uction procedure cannot be carried out if
local regulations require a special procedure which
has been confirmed and published by the Fault fin-
ding, Repair and Procedures Depar tment.
Note:
If triggering is not possible (faulty ignition module)
return the par t to Techline.
