1. Symptoms of airbag system malfunctions are difficult to recognize. Always check for trouble codes before disconnecting the battery.
2. Carry out work on the airbag system no earlier than 90 seconds after setting the ignition switch to the "LOCK" and disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Even after a minor collision in which the airbag did not deploy, always check the lining surface and the condition of the sensor. When potholes, cracks, deformations, etc. are detected. replace the airbag module assembly.
4. Never install components of the passive safety system from another vehicle.
5. If vehicle repair involves strong impact, block the sensor first.
6. Never disassemble the airbag assembly in the steering wheel.
7. Do not expose the steering wheel pad to shock or strong magnetic fields.
8. When storing, place the steering wheel pad face up on a flat, stable surface. Never put anything on the steering wheel pad.
9. Do not use an ohmmeter to test the passive safety system. This can lead to random operation of the system.
10. If the wiring is damaged, replace the wires, do not attempt to repair them.
11. When carrying the airbag module, hold it with the steering wheel pad away from you, this will reduce the chance of injury from accidental deployment.
12. Before connecting the connector to the passive safety system control unit, securely fasten the unit to the vehicle.
13. If at least one airbag is triggered, replace the SRS control unit.
14. If one side airbag deploys, replace both side airbags and damaged parts of the seat back (frame, padding, trim). After repair, check that the seats work properly and the wiring is properly located.
15. Do not disassemble the side impact sensor or subject it to shock.
16. If the side airbag deploys, replace the side impact sensor.
17. When repairing airbags, do not use oil, grease, water, etc.
18. Do not use an ohmmeter to test seat belt pretensioners. This can lead to random activation of the pretensioners.
19. When repairing airbags and seat belt pretensioners, do not use oil, grease, water, etc.
20. Do not insert screwdrivers or other foreign objects into the connectors of the passive safety system.
21. Even if the airbags did not deploy in a collision and show no signs of external damage, they may have internal damage that could cause them to deploy spontaneously. Even after a minor collision, diagnose the passive safety system in order to identify internal damage, if any, replace the defective components.
