Air bags and seat belt pretensioners

When triggered, the system can retract the buckle
by 70 mm (maximum).
DI8802
The pretensioner’s components can not be
separated.
NOTE :
this system is operational when the
ignition has been switched on.
Removal
IMPORTANT:
The pyrotechnic systems (pretensio-
ners or air bags) must not be handled when near a
heat source or a flame because there is a risk that
the system will be triggered.
IMPORTANT
Before removing a pretensioner, lock the
computer using the fault finding tool.
When this function is activated, all trigger lines
are inhibited, the air bag warning light on the ins-
trument panel is illuminated.
Remove:
- the pretensioner connector located under the
front seat,
- the pretensioner assembly, after having remo-
ved the protective trim.
IMPORTANT :
before scrapping an untriggered
pretensioner module, it
MUST
be destroyed in ac-
cordance with the method described in the
"Destruction Procedure"
section (except parts
which can be returned under warranty).
Refitting
Observe the wiring routing and the mounting
points under the seat.
NOTE :
press the connector in firmly on the pre-
tensioner side (C) (strong clipping system).
IMPORTANT :
after replacing the faulty parts and
reconnecting the connectors, carry out a check
using the fault finding tool.
Unlock the computer if everything is correct,
otherwise see the"Fault Finding" section.
REMINDER:
the computer in these vehicles can wi-
thstand several triggerings. Therefore, it does not
have to be replaced after every triggering of the
air bag(s) or pretensioners (see "Computer" sec-
tion).
