When performing any work on a vehicle equipped with an airbag, or when moving or storing the airbag, the following precautions must be observed:

• do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running;
• when performing any work on the security system or performing electric welding on the vehicle, deactivate the security system;
• if the security system warning light is on, you must immediately contact a service station;
• the airbag must be transported separately with the bag facing upwards;
• do not place your hands on the airbag during transport;
• don't throw away the airbag;
• do not disassemble the airbag;
• prevent solvents or cleaning agents from coming into contact with the airbag;
• do not expose the airbag to temperatures above 90°C;
• do not allow the airbag to come into contact with an open flame;
• do not install a defective or damaged airbag on your vehicle. The driver's side airbag is standard equipment on all models. The airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The safety system is activated when the ignition is turned on and is activated by a deceleration sensor included in the electronic control unit. If the safety system is faulty, a light comes on in the instrument cluster.
