Ensure deployed airbags and the system
●
components involved are immediately re-
placed with new, SEAT-approved components
for the vehicle.
Have any repairs or modifications carried
●
out at a specialised workshop. Specialised
workshops have the necessary tools, diag-
nostics equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Never fit recycled or reused airbag compo-
●
nents in your vehicle.
●
Never modify the airbag system compo-
nents.
WARNING
If the airbags are triggered, a fine dust is pro-
duced. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
This fine dust may irritate the skin and eyes
●
and cause breathing difficulties, particularly
in people suffering from or who have suffered
from asthma or other illnesses of the respira-
tory tract. To reduce breathing difficulties,
get out of the vehicle and open and doors and
windows to breath in fresh air.
●
Should you touch the dust, wash your
hands and face using a mild soap and water
before you eat.
●
Prevent the dust from affecting the eyes or
open wounds.
Rinse your eyes with water if you have dust
●
in them.
Airbag system
WARNING
Solvents cause the surfaces of the airbag
modules to become porous. If an airbag is ac-
cidentally triggered, the detachment of plas-
tic parts could cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel and the surfa-
●
ces of the airbag modules with cleaners con-
taining solvents.

When the impact speed is lower than the
reference value set in the control unit.
