Precautions during operation and repair work [Toyota Duet M100]

Errors made during maintenance of the security system may result in the system being inadvertently activated during maintenance or in the system not being activated during an accident, so always follow the rules described in the repair manual.

1. Symptoms of airbag system malfunctions can be difficult to recognize. Always check the fault codes before disconnecting the battery.

2. Do not work on the airbag system earlier than 90 seconds after setting the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and disconnecting the negative cable from the battery.

3. Never disassemble the steering wheel air bag assembly.

4. Do not expose the steering wheel pad to impacts or strong magnetic fields.

5. Do not expose the steering wheel pad to heat or flame.

6. Even after a minor collision in which the airbag did not deploy, always check the pad surface and the condition of the sensors. If dents, cracks, deformations, etc. are found, replace the airbag assembly.

7. Never install SRS system components from another vehicle, use only new components.

8. If the vehicle repair involves strong impacts, block the sensor first.

9. Never disassemble any SRS system components.

10. To test the security system, use a tester with an input resistance of at least 10 kOhm/V.

11. There are information labels on the housings of the SRS system components. Follow the instructions on them.

12. After completing the repair work, re-diagnose the system.

13. When disposing of a vehicle or steering wheel, always deflate the airbag.

14. The outer surface of the airbag unit becomes hot when deployed. Wait until the unit cools down to normal temperature. Do not use water for cooling!
