WARNING

♦ Observe the safety precautions for pyrotechnical compo‐

nents. Refer to

⇒ “1.2 Safety Precautions for Pyrotechnic Components”,

page 3

 .

♦ Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example,

connecting the connector), the person handling it must

“discharge static electricity”. This can be done by touching

the door striker pin, for example.

Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting

the following:

Note

♦

Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that

they engage audibly.

♦

Make sure the wires are not pinched.

♦

It is necessary to perform a basic setting/coding in “Guided

Fault Finding” if the Passenger Occupant Detection System

Control Module - J706- was replaced. Refer to Vehicle Diag‐

nostic Tester .

WARNING

The ignition must be on when connecting the battery. If pyro‐

technic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are

not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after

connecting battery. There must not be anyone inside the ve‐

hicle when connecting the battery.

– Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition turned on.

Refer to ⇒  Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.  27 ; Battery; Bat‐

tery, Disconnecting and Connecting .

WARNING

If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected

- “indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up” - the

ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver

seat is positioned all the way back.

Note

If the Airbag Indicator Lamp - K75- indicates a fault, check the

DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Di‐

agnostic Tester .
