Monitoring of airbag and belt tension device system

The functionality of the airbag and belt tension device system is constantly

monitored electronically. The warning lamp  will light up for four seconds

every time the ignition is switched on (selfdiagnosis).

If at least one airbag has been deactivated in a specialised workshop, the

warning light  flashes for 12 seconds before starting the engine. This does

not apply when the front and side airbags have been deactivated using the

key switch ⇒page 44.

The system must be checked when the warning lamp  :

•does not come on when the ignition is switched on,

•does not go off after four seconds, after switching on the ignition,

•goes out and then comes on again after the ignition is switched on,

•or if it comes on or flickers while the car is moving.

In the event of a malfunction, the warning lamp remains on continuously. In

addition, depending on the malfunction, an appropriate fault message

appears in the display1) of the instrument panel. In this event, you should

have a qualified workshop check the system immediately.

WARNING

If there is a malfunction, the airbag and belt tension device system cannot

properly perform its protective function.

•If a malfunction should occur, have the system checked immediately by

a qualified workshop. Otherwise there is a risk that, in the event of an acci-

dent, the airbag system and belt tension devices may not be triggered, or

may not be triggered correctly.

Repair, care and disposal of the airbags

The parts of the airbag system are installed in various places in your vehicle.

If you work on the airbag system or remove and install parts of the system

when performing other repair work, parts of the airbag system may be

damaged. The consequence may be that, in the event of an accident, the

airbag inflates incorrectly or does not inflate at all.

The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or

components of the airbag are scrapped. The specialist workshops and the

Vehicle disposal centres are familiar with these requirements.

WARNING

•If repairs are not carried out by a professional, or if the airbags are used

incorrectly, the risk of severe or fatal injuries is increased. The airbags may

fail to inflate, or could inflate in the wrong circumstances.

•Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft

plastic surface of the airbag unit on the passenger side of the dashboard,

and do not obstruct or modify them in any way.

•It is important not to attach any objects such as cup holders or tele-

phone mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.

•To clean the steering wheel or dash panel, you may use only a dry cloth

or one moistened with water. Never clean the dash panel and surface of the

airbag module with cleansers containing solvents. Solvents cause the

surface to become porous. If the airbag inflates, disintegrating plastic

parts can cause substantial injuries.

•Never attempt to repair, adjust, remove or install parts of the airbag

system.

•Any work on the airbag system or removal and installation of the airbag

components for other repairs (such as repairs to the steering wheel) should

be performed only by a qualified workshop. Qualified workshops have the

necessary tools, repair information and qualified personnel.
