Airbag Care

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
■
When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: front seat
belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.

The removal of airbag components from the vehicle is
prohibited.
In case of malfunction, or shutdown, or after the
airbag inflation/seat belt tensioner operation, ask a
qualified personnel for handling.
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, including the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
