• Remaining transverse acceleration sensors if the mounting
points are deformed in the sensor area [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

Also with Driver Airbag Deployment:
• Return spring with slip ring [CLOCK SPRING/LVR,STRG]
• All front airbag sensors on the front end [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]
• Remaining transverse acceleration sensors if the mounting points are deformed in the sensor area[AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

Also with Thorax Airbag Deployment:

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

The following components must be checked after every airbag deployment.

With a Passenger Airbag Deployment:
• Instrument panel crossmember; front passenger airbag supports and passenger airbag unit must be installed free of tension. Otherwise the crossmember is to be replaced.
• Check the glove compartment for damage. Replace the glove compartment if damaged.

With a Driver Airbag Deployment:
• Steering wheel: Remove the steering wheel and place it with the steering wheel rim on a flat surface. The entire steering wheel rim must rest on the surface. Otherwise the steering wheel should be replaced.
• Check steering wheel for smoke residue. If smoke residue is present, replace steering wheel.

Collision without Airbag Deployment
• If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75• does not indicate a malfunction, then it is not necessary to replace the pyrotechnic components. Seat belts must be inspected separately.

After every accident the seat belt system must be inspected systematically
