Lotus Service Notes
- There is no danger of exposure to propellants in the sealed system. The propellant mix is in a solid state,
therefore no inhalation is possible, even if the gas generator cartridge is broken.
- Avoid skin contact and do not ingest the propellant.
First aid
Ingestion: Help the person vomit if conscious. Call a physician.
Skin contact: Wash immediately with soap and water. Call a physician.
Eyes: Wash the eyes immediately with running water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Call a physician.
Inhalation: Take the person immediately to fresh air. Call a physician.
General notice
Storage, transport, dismantling and/or recycling of the pre-tensioner shall be carried out according to the
legal and local regulations, taking account also of directives for masonry, fire fighting, transport, environmental
protection and the safety and health of all staff.
WARNING: The seat belt pre-tensioner devices fitted on the Lotus Elise are designed and calibrated
specifically for this particular model. Pre-tensioners must not be adapted, re-used or installed on any
other vehicle - they must only be fitted to the prescribed vehicle with specific homologation continu-
ity.
Any attempt to re-use, adapt or install pre-tensioners on a different vehicle can cause severe or
fatal injuries to the occupants during normal operation as well as the result of an accident.
