Airbag Access, Deployment And Dismantling - Mahindra e2o City Quick Reference Manual

17.0 AIRBAG ACCESS, DEPLOYMENT AND DISMANTLING (emergency response)
Follow the airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) deployment procedure before accessing
and dismantling process. This procedure is applicable for driver airbag (DAB), passenger airbag
(PAB) and seat belt pre-tensioners (front left and right).
1. Safety Precautions for removal or deployment of airbags eliminates the potential for hazardous
reactions during processing.
2. Follow the below precautions while disassembling the airbag SRS components or the wiring
point of those components.
• Be cautious while handling the ECU that activates the airbags and pretensioners.
• Do not carry the airbag module and seatbelt pretensioners by wires attached to inflators or other gas
generating devices.
• While handling the airbag, make sure the trims/covers (through which the airbag deploys) point away
from self or other persons and seatbelts shall not be handled on the webbing.
• If testing or deployment is required, make sure there is sufficient space around the airbag module so as
to allow the bag to inflate freely.
• Never place your head or body close to the front of an un-deployed airbag while dismantling.
• Do not drop the ECU while it is connected to airbag modules.
• Do not reuse the airbag, its ECU or any of its components that have been removed from a vehicle.
• An airbag that has been removed from a vehicle should never be installed in any other vehicle.
• Make sure the airbag is deployed fully, as the live airbag initiator can potentially discharge even after it is
separated from the airbag assembly, thereby causing serious injury or damage of equipment.
• Only trained personnel must remove the airbag inflator or pre-tensioner gas generator from the airbag
assembly.
• Wear appropriate protection, including eye and ear protection, during air bag deployment.
• Do not dispose of an undeployed airbag/pre-tensioners through normal disposal channels until it has
been fully deployed.
