♦ After bodywork repairs in vicinity of curtain airbag, check
area for weld spray droplets, deformations and abrasive
areas (compare with opposite side if necessary).

ded headliner, door seals with beading, curtain airbag
guides, grab handle brackets, trim on the A, B and C-pil‐
lars and, if installed, D-pillar trim must also be renewed. If
damaged, (rear) interior reading lights, roof grab handles
and roof end strip must be renewed.
