DURING REPAIRS

1. Disconnect the battery, before any repair, unless

required.

1.2 SAFETY AGAINST PERSONAL INJURY

A

.

WORKING WITH VEHICLES FITTED WITH

AIRBAG

While working with Vehicles equipped with airbag

special care should be taken to avoid accidental de-

ployment, which may cause personal injury and also

to avoid damage to the airbag which may result in its

failure to deploy during a crash.

Disconnect the battery negative and wait for a min-

ute before proceeding with any repairs related to

airbag.

!! WARNING

Since the airbag system has power back up for

about 30 secs, it is essential to wait for at least a

minute after disconnecting the battery to proceed

with any repair in order to avoid air bag deployment

.

1. Replace the Airbag modules if dropped from a

height, even if no external damage is visible.

2. Only use the diagnostic tool to probe faults in the

Airbag system, never use electrical probing in-

struments as the probing current may deploy the

airbag.

3. Check if the airbag lamp comes ON to show any

fault after conducting a repair and recheck for any

errors using the diagnostic tool.

4. Do not try to dismantle the airbag module; there

are no serviceable parts in it.
