The airbag steering wheel may only be replaced with a steering wheel approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
The airbag panel on the steering wheel must not be glued, covered or modified in any other way. It should be cleaned with a dry or water-moistened cloth, as well as with cleaning agents approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
The airbag does not replace the seat belt. All occupants of the vehicle must fasten their seat belts in order to ensure optimal protection.
The driver's seat must be adjusted according to the size of his body.
Do not install any child restraint systems on the passenger seat next to the driver. Children under 12 must be transported in the rear seats only.
There must be no objects between the passenger and the airbag.
Do not use the cover of the passenger air bag assembly next to the driver as a shelf.
If the airbag deployed as a result of a collision, the control unit, the airbag assembly and the contact assembly must be replaced with new parts (workshop work).
Before working on the airbag assembly or on the electrical system, the ground wire must be disconnected (-) battery. Then disconnect the plug connection of the air bag unit on the steering column.
When removed, always lay the airbag unit in such a way that its elastic part points upwards.
When the vehicle is being repaired for an extended period of time, the airbag assembly must be kept under lock and key.
Do not treat the airbag assembly with lubricants, cleaners or other similar (aggressive) means.
The airbag assembly and airbag control unit are very sensitive to impacts. If they fell from a height of more than 50 cm, then they cannot be reinstalled. In the event of a fall from a lower height, the airbag assembly must be checked by a workshop.
When carrying out welding work, connect the clamps to the poles of the welding machine only immediately before welding. In any case, the battery ground wire must be disconnected. Finally, the negative pole of the battery must be insulated to avoid accidental electrical contact. Disconnect the airbag plug connecting it to the gas generator.
