Operations on sheet metal
2.13.5 Occupant protection
The airbags, the safety belt attachments, the position of the retractors and the pre-tensioners, the anchoring of the seats are
an integral part of passive safety.
Any change made to these components could jeopardise the protection of the transported passengers and compliance with legal
regulations.
Airbag/Window bag
No work may be performed or components installed in areas that could inhibit the proper operation of the airbag devices.
The following must therefore be avoided:
- changes to the front structure of the vehicle, to the floor, the firewall, the side panels and the dashboard fastening points;
- changes to the installation area for the airbag control unit (positioned under the floor between the front seats) to the points
involved with the sensor system and relative wiring;
- installation of components near the opening on the dashboard;
- changes to the steering column;
- replacement or installation of seats with an ”H” point different than the original one.
In the case of a passenger side airbag, comply with the regulations for the installation and use of child
seats. NOTE
!
The supplementary circuits must be separate from the main vehicle circuit and protected with a
suitable fuse.
Safety belt anchoring
Operations carried out in areas of the body involved with the safety belt attachments could change the functionality of these
devices.
Therefore, the fitter is responsible for complying with the regulations concerning:
- tightening and assembly torques;
- selection of belts different than the original ones;
- operational homogeneity between the original belts and conformation seats different than the original.
Seats
Moving existing seats or fitting additional seats (for example, in an N1 cat. van) is only permitted on vehicles manufactured with
supplementary attachments and already granted alternative type approval.
Any other solution remains the full responsibility of the fitter, both for the implementation as well as for the execution of the
destructive tests.
