No waiting time is necessary after disconnecting battery. When connecting the airbag system to a voltage source, there must be no person present inside the vehicle. Before picking up (touching) the airbag unit, the mechanic/technician must electrostatically discharge him/herself. This is achieved by touching a suitable metal part, for example, a water pipe, heater pipe or metal frame. Airbag units should be installed immediately upon removal from shipping package. Airbag unit is to be returned to shipping package when there is an interruption in work. It is not acceptable to leave airbag unit unattended. Airbag units which have been removed should be stored so that padded side is facing up. Airbag units that have fallen onto a hard surface or show signs of damage must not be installed in vehicle. CAUTION: Always replace damaged pillar trim panels, never repair. Head curtain airbags must not be kinked or twisted. After body repairs, inspect the body for weld splatter, deformations and chafing areas near the head curtain airbag (compare with opposite side if necessary). If a deployed head curtain airbag is replaced, the headliner, door seals with weather stripping, curtain airbag guides, grab handle brackets, and the A, B, C and (if equipped) D-pillar trim must be replaced. If damaged, the rear interior lights, the roof grab handles and the roof end strip must be replaced.

BELT WEBBING, CHECKING -- Pull belt webbing completely off automatic belt retractor. -- Inspect the belt webbing for contamination and, if necessary, wash with mild soap solution. Belt tensioner components may not be opened nor repaired; always use new parts (risk of injury). Belt tensioners that were subject to hard blows or have been dropped on the floor, must not be installed in a vehicle. Belt tensioners that are mechanically damaged (dents, cracks) must always be replaced. Storage and transport is subject to laws governing explosive materials. Belt tensioners should be installed immediately after removing them from the shipping package. An impact wrench may not be used to remove the belt tensioner.

ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT Passenger Protection, Airbags, Seat Belts

 The first locking function is initiated by belt being jerked out of the retractor (belt extraction acceleration). Checking -- Pull belt webbing out of retractor with a firm jerk.  No locking effect - replace seat belt complete with belt buckle.  If difficulties are experienced when pulling out or retracting belt, first check whether position of retractor has been altered.  The second locking function is initiated by change in vehicle velocity (vehicle-dependent locking function). For this, the vehicle must be moved on a level surface. Checking -- Fasten seat belt. -- Accelerate vehicle to 12 mph (20 km/h) and then perform a full braking maneuver with foot brake.  Replace seat belt complete with seat belt latch if seat belt is not locked by locking mechanism during braking procedure. BELT LATCH, INSPECTION -- Inspect belt buckle for cracks and fracturing.  If damaged, replace seat belt complete with belt buckle. BELT LATCH, CHECKING FUNCTION Checking seat belt latch: -- Slide the latch tongue into the belt latch until it clicks in place. Pull on the belt webbing strongly to make sure the latch mechanism is engaged.  Replace seat belt complete with seat belt latch if belt tongue fails even only once to engage properly in seat belt latch during at least 5 tests. Check release mechanism: -- Press the seat belt latch to release the seat belt. -- With the seat belt relaxed, the lock tongue must spring out of seat belt latch without assistance.  Perform the test at least five times. If the latch tongue does not spring out even one time, replace the entire seat belt, including the belt latch. WARNING: For safety reasons, road test should be carried out on traffic-free stretch to ensure that other motorists/pedestrians etc. are not endangered.

BELT GUIDE RINGS AND LOCKING TONGUE, CHECKING Plastic-coated fittings face the load (seat belt on during accident) of the belt system parallel to the small grooves (wear created by significant usage, in contrast, is recognizable on the basis of the smooth, stripe- free abrasion). -- Check plastic for deformation, rupture and tearing.  For groove build-up and/or damage, replace seat belt completely with lock. CHECKING MOUNTING COMPONENTS AND MOUNTING POINTS  Latch bracket deformed (stretched)  Height adjuster not functional  Mounting points (seat, pillar, vehicle floor) distorted or thread damaged  If damage is found at components, replace the seat belt completely with lock.  Replace anchorage points. PASSIVE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Seat occupied recognition controls automatic passenger airbag deactivation. This equipment is only installed on vehicles released in the USA and Canada. WARNING: Under no circumstances may grease be used to eliminate noise or stiffness at belt buckle buttons. NOTE: In damage is discovered that is not accident-related, for example, wear, replace the particular part which is damaged. CAUTION: After every repair on the passenger seat in which the seat and/or backrest cover was "disengaged" basic setting on Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module -J706- must be performed. Perform basic setting with a diagnostic tester that has "Guided Fault Finding". Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat. A leaking mat must be replaced (repair kit). Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose. Seat occupied recognition (repair kit) components must not fall on hard surfaces. Seat occupied recognition components must not come in contact with grease.
