®
Avalanche Airbag with your airline 14 days
before your departure and include it in your booking.
One inflator is permitted per ABS

We strongly recommend that you request the IATA
guidelines from your respective service centre or
that you download them yourself from our website
(www.abs-airbag.com/en/abs-in-planes.html) , in order
to be able to show them at the ticket counter. We also
strongly recommend that you put the copy of the IATA
guidelines (which you can download from our website)
along with your inflator and backpack in your carry-on
luggage.
When you transport the inflator outside the ABS ® -
P.RIDE backpack, the protective cap must be on the
inflator.
When travelling, please pay attention to the latest
advice on

parts should be 10 years with the exception of the

15. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
15.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
The top LED on the activation handle flashes red:
• Turn handle to OFF position and remove inflator. Turn
handle to ON position.
• The top LED continues to flash red. Now carry out
test activation.
• If the top LED lights up white briefly after activation,
you need to replace the inflator.
• If the top LED flashes red again when you insert the
new inflator, please send the system to ABS ® for
inspection.
The airbags are difficult to remove from the side com-
partments and are hard to inflate:
• Were the airbags folded properly?
• Did the weight of the inflator match the filled weight?
• If you answered both with Yes, send the airbag in for
service.
• If you are unsure about either one of these points,
activate your airbags once again.
• If the problem persists, send the ABS
®
System in for
service.
