Attention!
- Before removing the airbag, you must turn off the power supply to the vehicle's electrical system and then wait at least 1 minute.
- Special care should be taken when removing the driver's airbag.
- Disassembling and reassembling the airbag may impair the system's functionality, which could result in serious injury or death.
- Incorrect connection of airbag wiring may cause airbag deployment. If fault is found in connecting elements, replace the wiring harness.
- Do not use an ohmmeter to check the airbag - this may cause it to deploy. For this, you need to use the on-board diagnostics system at a service station.
- When carrying the airbag, hold it so that the operating side is not facing you.
- Do not place the pillow with the working side down, as if it is accidentally activated, the pillow body may be thrown away by the pillow unfolding in a random direction and cause injury.
