Additional safety instructions for curtain airbag

Warning

Place removed curtain airbag modules in packaging or on a clean, flat surface on a cover.
Folding is acceptable as long as no damage is caused (in particular to the protective sleeve).
To prevent any potential damage during removal and installation, curtain airbags must be handled with extreme caution.
Until the gas generator is screwed in place, always hold it firmly by hand when handling (transportation, removal and installation, etc.).
Always renew damaged pillar trim; never repair.
After bodywork repairs in vicinity of curtain airbag, check body for weld spray droplets, deformations and areas of chafing (compare with opposite side if necessary).
If an ignited curtain airbag is renewed, the moulded headliner, door seals with beading, curtain airbag guides, grab handle brackets, trim on the A, B and C-pillars must also generally be renewed. If damaged, (rear) interior reading lights, roof grab handles and roof end strip must be renewed.
