Important
Each part is intended for a specific vehicle type and should not be fitted on another vehicle
under any circumstances. The parts are not interchangeable. Do not trigger pretensioners
which are to be returned under warranty because of a faulty stalk. This makes analysis of the
part by the supplier impossible. Return the defective part to Techline in the packaging of the
new part. 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 part only. The
destruction procedure cannot be carried out if local regulations require a special procedure
which has been confirmed and published by the Fault finding, Repair and Procedures
Department.

Driver's frontal airbag

To avoid all risk of damage to the systems, apply the safety and cleanliness instructions and
operation recommendations, before carrying out any repair. To avoid damaging the airbag or
rotary switch connectors, do not let the airbag hang by its connectors. Never handle the
pyrotechnic systems (pretensioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or naked flame - they
may be triggered.
