– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
– To avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network
personnel are authorised to work
on the methods of restraint in
addition to the front seat belt.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
Warnings concerning the
driver's air bag
– Do not modify the steering
wheel or the steering wheel
boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel
boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge,
logo, clock, telephone holder,
etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– You must not remove the steering
wheel (such work must only be
performed by trained personnel
from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close
to the steering wheel. Sit with
your arms slightly bent (see the
information on "Adjusting your
driving position" in Section 1).
This will allow sufficient space for
the air bag to inflate properly and
be fully effective.
– Always use seat belts for a better
and effective use of the Airbag.
