Side Airbag Module, Special Notes







Side Airbag Module, Special Notes

Place any removed head curtain airbag modules back in their transport containers or on a clean and even surface with a cloth underneath.

They may be folded as long as this does not damage them, especially the protective sleeve.

Handle head curtain airbag modules with great care when removing and installing them to prevent causing any damage.

As long as the gas generator is NOT attached, hold it securely when transporting, removing, installing, etc.

Always replace damaged pillar trim panels, never repair.

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.
