Refitting ( Removing

) Observe the following precaution.

Handle the Air Bag module with extreme caution. Ensure the battery is disconnected.

If a new module is being fitted, attach the labels. Detach the removable part of the adhesive label from the new module and put it in a specific file recording the vehicle details (model, registration data, chassis no.) and the serial no. of the old module. This file should be kept for future checks. A new label is supplied together with the module, to be stuck on top of the existing one. However, it should first be perforated to indicate the month and 14 years after the year when the module is fitted (e.g. 2017 will correspond to 2003).

The severity of the impact could cause deformation of the seat frame. Proceed as follows to check frame condition.

Check visually for deformation or cracks in the seat frame. Check that the impact slots are not deformed.Check the condition of the seat balljoint.Check the squab for torsional deformation by measuring the diagonals of the squab frame. Check that the measurements are the same and that the diagonals intersect at the centre of the squab. Move the seat through all its various settings to ensure that movements take place without binding or noise.

If the checks have a favourable result, only the damaged components need be replaced (Air Bag module, wiring, cover).

Handle the side Air Bag with extreme caution. Ensure the battery is disconnected.

Fit the side bag module in its seating on the frame, position the earth lead correctly and tighten the fixing nuts.Position the wiring correctly and secure it to the squab frame and seat frame using the specific press-fitted clips.Position the side bag module electrical connector correctly on the mounting bracket. - 7045D31 Front seat BACKREST COVER, left or right - R.R. with seat removed - 7045A13 front seat with side bag r rConnect the battery terminals.Check the operation of the system using the Examiner or another tester.
