5.
The airbag modules or their components
must not be adapted or installed in any
other vehicle other than the specific
vehicle for which they
are designed and
manufactured. Any attempt to adapt or
install airbag modules or their
components in any other vehicle can
result in personal injury to the occupants
in the event of accidents.
6. The system has back-up power for about
30 seconds after the battery is
disconnected. Wait for at least ONE minute
after disconnecting the battery before
servicing the vehicle to prevent accidental
deployment and personal injury.
General precautions:
The following precautions have to be taken while
working on SRS system.
1. Always remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch, disconnect the vehicle battery
and wait 10 minutes before commencing work
on the SRS system.
2. When removing, testing or installing an airbag
module, do not lean directly over it. Always
refer SRS component testing precautions
3. In order to assure system integrity, it is
essential that the SRS system is regularly
checked and maintained so that it is ready for
effective operation in the event of a collision.
Carefully inspect SRS components before
installation. Do not install a part that shows
signs of being dropped or improperly handled,
such as dents, cracks or deformation. Dropped
modules may get damaged. In such cases
contact the supplier for further course of
action.
4. Ensure
SRS
components
are
not
contaminated with oil, grease, detergent or
water. It is essential that SRS components are
fitted using the recommended torques. Always
use specified earth fixings tightened to the
correct torque. Poor earthing can cause
intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
5.
Never attempt to repair an SRS component.
Do not try to dismantle an airbag module,
there are no serviceable
parts. Once an
airbag or pre-tensioner has been deployed, it
cannot be repaired or re-used.
6. Do not install used SRS components from
another vehicle. When repairing an SRS
system, only use TATA authorized genuine
new parts.
7. It is essential that SRS components are fitted
using the recommended torques. Always use
specified earth fixings tightened to the correct
torque. Poor earthing can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
8. Do not cut, drill, braze or solder the gas
generator assembly.
9. Do not allow assemblies to come into contact
with electrical current (like even Multimeter etc.
except as designed. 10. Never hammer on any
SRS component - it might get damaged
internally.
10. Do not carry the airbag or pre-tensioner
module, with the cable assembly connected -
long cables can pick up Electrostatic Charge
particularly if dragged on the floor and could
lead to deployment of airbag.
11. If the airbag cover has opened during
transport or handling, the airbag must be
returned to the supplier.
12. Do not attempt to refold the bag into the
cover. Deployment protection may be
compromised or injury may be induced. This
is because foreign objects could enter the
bag, or the vehicle specific bag-folding pattern
could be altered from its original optimized
design.
13. Prior to commencing any test procedure on
the vehicle, ensure that only test equipment
approved for the purpose is being utilized and
that it is in good working order. Ensure any
harness or connectors are in good condition
and any warning lamps are fully functional.
14. Do not keep a live airbag module with the
deployment door faced down. Place the
Airbag modules such that the deployment
side is placed facing upwards and away from
any loose parts
