2.13.3 Protection of the vehicle occupants
Airbags, safety belt fittings, the positioning of reels and pre-tension devices and anchorage of seats are all an integral part of passive
safety.
▶
Any modification of these components may compromise the protection of persons on-board and
compliance with legal requirements.
a) Airbag/Window bag
Work or component installations must not be carried out in areas that may inhibit the correct operation of the airbags.
Consequently, the following must be avoided:
●
modifications to the front structure of the vehicle, floor, firewall, sides and dashboard fixture points;
●
alterations in the airbag control unit installation area (located under the floor between the front seats) and points involved in
the system of sensors and related wiring harness;
●
installation of components near the dashboard aperture;
●
modifications to the steering column;
●
replacements or installations of seats a different "H" point compared to the original versions.
Note
Since the configuration of the electronic safety devices of the vehicles must not be modified, the Airbag system cannot be installed
as "retrofit" and vice versa, must not be eliminated.
▶
The additional circuits must be separated from the main circuit of the vehicle and protected by
means of a specific fuse.
b) Seat belt anchoring
Work in the body areas where there are seat belt fittings may affect the function/operation of these devices.
It is therefore the responsibility of the bodybuilder to comply with regulations concerning:
●
mounting and tightening torques
●
choice of seat belts other than original versions;
●
uniform operation between original seat belts and seats that may have a different configuration to the originals.
c) Seats
Moving the seats or fitting additional seats (for example, in a van of Cat. N1) is not permitted on vehicles already equipped with
additional coupling points and which are the subject of alternative type-approval.
Any other solution is implemented under to total responsibility of the bodybuilder as regards installation and final test procedures
(destructive).
