PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

• If the seat rails and/or the seat pan must be replaced after a accident due to deformation, the seat occupied recognition must also be replaced with the "seat occupied repair kit"

Airbag Units, Removing and Installing After an Accident:

The airbag control module must be replaced [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]:
• With driver and passenger airbag deployment "but not with airbag generation 9.•, 10.• and 8.R."
• After three side airbag. driver airbag, passenger airbag or belt tensioner deployments
• If housing is damaged
• If there is deformation on the tunnel in 200 mm circumference around control module

Always replace the following:
• All triggered airbag units [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL; AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL; AIRBAG,KNEE BOLSTER; AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT; AIRBAG,ROOF]
• The battery interrupt igniter -N253• [IGNITER,BATTERY INTERRUPT]

Also with passenger airbag deployment:
• Instrument Panel
• Deformed passenger module supports (cannot be reformed)
• All sensors for front airbag on front end [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

Also with Driver airbag deployment:
• Coil connector with slip ring [CLOCK SPRING]
• All sensors for front airbag on front end [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

Also with side airbag deployment:
• Pressure sensor on deployed side [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR]
• Cross acceleration sensors on deployed side [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
• Cover
• Cushion
• With a folding rear seat backrest: side cushion (if equipped) [BOLSTER,SEAT]
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT; AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

In Addition:
• All belt retractors with deployed belt tensioners
• All belt retractors with deployed belt force limiters (depending on equipment)
• Seat belt latches for all automatic belt retractors with deployed seat belt tensioners with the belt on
• Seat belt height adjuster (manual and power) for all automatic belt retractors with deployed seat belt tensioners with the belt on

Replace entire module when making repairs behind side cur-tain airbag

All damaged securing pieces must be replaced

If needed (visual inspection), the following must also be replaced: all faulty components

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

Test the system with a suitable vehicle tester

If needed (visual inspection), the following must also be replaced: all faulty components

• The airbag control module can be used for up to 2 side airbag and/or belt tensioner deployments with airbag generation 8.•, except 8.R.
• The airbag control module can be used for up to two side driver and passenger airbag and/or belt tensioner deployments with airbag generation 9.•, 10.• and 8.R.
• After the third deployment, the malfunction display "Control module defect" appears. [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]

• Seat belts and seat belt mounting points
• Child seat anchors must be checked for damage or deformation after an accident

With a passenger airbag deployment:
• Instrument panel central tube, passenger airbag supports and passenger airbag must be installed free of tension. Replace central tube.
• Check the glove compartment and replace if damaged

With a driver airbag deployment:
• Steering wheel

• Each time an airbag or passenger belt tensioner deploys, a basic setting must be performed on the seat occupied recognition control module using a vehicle diagnostic tester.
• If the seat rail and/or the seat pan was deformed in an accident and must be replaced, replace the passenger occupant detection system with the passenger occupant detection system service kit. Then a basic setting must be performed for the passenger occupant detection system control module using a vehicle diagnostic tester.
• All damaged securing pieces must be replaced, you cannot reshape components or make them fit.

Do not make any repairs to the trims (upper A-pillar trim, B-pillar trim, C-pillar trim, and D-pillar trim).
