Note. Read Warnings Before Performing Subsequent Operations paragraph 24.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative battery terminal (see chapter 5A), then proceed as directed in the appropriate subparagraph.
Driver airbag
2. There are two different types of airbags installed on cars. Models produced since 2000 are equipped with pillows with two-stage filling. If the blow has a relatively small force, the pillow does not inflate very much. In the event of a strong impact, the pillow inflates more. Thus, the pillow inflates just enough to ensure safety
Conventional airbag
3. Turn out two screws of fastening of an airbag from the back party of a steering wheel. For easier access to the screws, turn the steering wheel in the desired direction (pic. 25.3).
4. Turn the steering wheel to the straight ahead position, then carefully remove the airbag from the steering wheel. Unfasten the latch and disconnect the airbag electrical connector from the steering wheel (pic. 25.4). Please note that the cushion must not be dropped or hit. The pillow should be stored upside down.
5. When installing, connect the wiring connector and install the unit on the steering wheel. Make sure the wires are not pinched. Insert the fastening screws, tighten them to the required torque and connect the battery.
Cushion with stepped filling
6. Turn the steering wheel to the straight ahead position, then insert a screwdriver into the hole in the rear of the steering wheel at a 90°angle to the steering column and release the spring clip, then remove one side of the cushion from the steering wheel outwards (rice, 25.6, a-c). Repeat this procedure on the other side of the steering wheel.
7. To disconnect the electrical wiring connectors, use a small flat screwdriver to pry the lock and remove the connector (pic. 25.7). Please note that the cushion must not be dropped or hit. Pillow should be stored upside down
8. When installing, connect the electrical wiring connectors and make sure that their locks are in place. Please note that the connectors have a different color. Install the airbag on the steering wheel and press it until the spring clips snap into place. Connect the battery.
Passenger airbag
9. Using a plastic or wooden tool, carefully remove the front panel trim above the passenger side glove box.
10. Turn out two screws and take out an air duct of system of ventilation from outside the passenger.
11. Carefully remove the bottom edge of the airbag from the front panel. Loosen the two screws and remove the cover (pic. 25.11). Keep in mind that after the airbag has deployed, you will need a new cover.
12. Turn away nuts of fastening and remove an airbag. Squeeze the clamps and disconnect the wiring connector from the airbag (pic. 25.12, a, b).
13. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the airbag mounting screws to the required torque and connect the battery.
Airbags in the doors
14. Remove the door lining (see chapter 11).
15. Turn out three screws and lift the airbag block. Disconnect the electrical connector from the pillow (pic. 25.15, a, b). If necessary, disconnect the wiring harness from the mounts.
16. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the airbag mounting screws to the required torque and connect the battery.
Head airbags
17. Top airbags are installed on both sides of the cabin (for sewing the head). When deployed, these airbags appear at the bottom of the A-pillars and are approximately 1.5m long and 130mm in diameter (inflated). To remove the pillow, you must remove the front panel and trim of the A-pillar. This work cannot be carried out in a garage, so we recommend that you contact a specialized service station.
Airbag control unit
18. Remove the rear section of the center console (see chapter 11).
19. To access the control box, cut the carpet in front of the parking brake lever.
20. Turn away nuts of fastening and lift the block. Pay attention to that. that a ground wire is attached under one of the nuts Disconnect the wiring connector from the unit (pic. 25.20, a, b).
21. Installation is carried out in sequence. reverse withdrawal. Note that the arrow on the block must point towards the front of the vehicle. Fix one of the nuts to the ground wire of the unit.
Shock sensor
22. The car has two shock sensors: one on each side of the passenger compartment. Remove the seats (see chapter 11).
23. Remove facing of a threshold of a door and bend a rug aside. If necessary, remove the foot warmer duct.
24. Turn out two screws of fastening and remove the gauge (pic. 25.24). Disconnect the wiring connector from the sensor.
25. Installation is made in sequence, return to removal. Pay attention to that. that the arrow on the sensor should point towards the threshold.
