Airbag

Important!
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag connector, it  is necessary to  apply a  checking

procedure of the system:

- Check if airbag indicator from the instrument panel is on, when the contact is set

on.

- Connect the igniter to the airbag connector (to the wiring) and check if the airbag

indicator is off.

- Set the contact off, connect the airbag connector instead of the inert igniter and

attach the airbag on the steering wheel (requiret tightening moment is 0.65 daNm).

After remounting, perform the system checking by means of the CLIP tester.
If everything is correct, unblock the UCE airbag (see chapter 88 “Unblocking UCE

airbag”).

If  is not correct, see chapter “Diagnostic”.
- Check if the airbag indicator from the instrument panel is on for 3 seconds from

setting the contact on, then it is off and is remaining off.

ATTENTION!
Non-observing of prevision prescriptions may cause un abnormal operation of the

system, leading to the airbag undesirable starting.
