Special instructions for belt tensioners

WARNING
♦ Never point open end of belt tensioner at another person.
♦ Belt tensioner units must be handled with extreme caution
during removal and installation. If handled incorrectly,
there is a high risk of injury and damage in relation to the
belt tensioner units.
♦ When connecting the belt tensioner unit, all mechanical
parts (including those of the 3-point seat belt) must be
properly attached. If connection of the belt tensioner unit
is hindered due to tight conditions, the belt strap must be
rolled up completely before connecting. In this case there
is no heightened risk of safety as long as the additional
safety instructions are heeded. Essentially this is aimed at
battery disconnection and electrostatic discharge of the
fitter prior to connection of the belt tensioner unit.
♦ Depending on the crash intensity, it is possible that the belt
tensioner was triggered but the belt force limiter did NOT
ignite. These parts are to be treated as unignited compo‐
nents!
1.3 Storage, transportation and disposal of
airbag, belt tensioner and battery isola‐
tor units (pyrotechnic components)
WARNING
♦ Storage must comply with the relevant national legislation.
♦ Transportation is subject to national and international reg‐
ulations that govern packaging, marking, labelling and
freight documentation in detail.
♦ Untriggered pyrotechnic components must be disposed of
correctly in the original packaging in accordance with na‐
tional legislation. Contact your importer if in any doubt.
♦ Only completely ignited pyrotechnic components may be
disposed of through the commercial waste system.
