Removal - Refitting
Any operation involving removal and refitting of
the seat trim of a seat back fitted with a side air
bag, must not be carried out for the time being.
In case of a fault on the air bag cushion or follo-
wing its inflation, the whole seat must be repla-
ced following the specific Parts Department or-
der procedure .
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).
On the other hand, in the event of a triggering
being caused, the side impact sensor must be re-
placed (certain components lose their nominal
specifications after the triggering energy has pas-
sed through them).
IMPORTANT :
•
Before removing a seat, lock the computer
using the fault finding tool.
When this operation is activated, all the trig-
gering lines are inhibited and the air bag war-
ning light on the instrument panel is illumina-
ted.
•
When refitting, after replacing the seat 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.
IMPORTANT :
before scrapping an untriggered air
bag module, it
MUST
be destroyed in accordance
with the method described in the "Destruction
Procedure"
section
96832R
DESTRUCTION PROCEDURE
