Replacing Seat Belt System Parts
after a Crash
Warning
A crash can damage the seat belt system
in the vehicle. A damaged seat belt
system may not properly protect the
person using it, resulting in serious injury
or even death in a crash. To help make
sure the seat belt systems are working
properly after a crash, have them
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.
After a minor crash, replacement of seat
belts may not be necessary. But the seat
belt assemblies that were used during any
crash may have been stressed or damaged.
See your dealer to have the seat belt
assemblies inspected or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be necessary
even if the seat belt system was not being
used at the time of the crash.
Have the seat belt pretensioners checked if
the vehicle has been in a crash, or if the
airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or while you are driving.

Airbag System

The airbag system consists of a number of
individual systems depending on the scope
of equipment.
When triggered the airbags inflate within
milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly
that it is often unnoticeable during the
collision.
Seats and Restraints
Warning
If handled improperly the airbag systems
can be triggered in an explosive manner.
Note
The airbag systems and belt pretensioner
control electronics are located in the center
console area. Do not put any magnetic
objects in this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag covers
and do not cover them with other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once. Have
deployed airbags replaced by a workshop.
Furthermore, it might be necessary to have
the steering wheel, the instrument panel,
parts of the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to the
airbag system as this will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping hot gases
may cause burns.
