There are increased requirements for storing SRS components. This may require approval from local authorities.
WARNING: Air bags and seat belt pretensioners are classified as explosives. For overnight or longer storage, they must be placed in a steel safe that has the required level of protection and is registered with the local authorities.
WARNING: Store air bags with the deployable side facing up. If an air bag is stored with the deployable side facing down, if it accidentally deploys, it will be thrown upward with sufficient force to cause serious injury.
CAUTION: Failure to properly store the airbags may damage them and render them unusable. If there is reason to believe that the airbag is faulty, it must be replaced. To activate and dispose of the airbag, refer to the relevant section of the Manual.
If temporary storage of the airbag module is necessary, always follow these guidelines:
- Make sure the airbag cover is facing up and the vehicle trunk is securely closed.
- System components should be stored in a cool, dry and safe area.
- Do not place any objects on top of the airbags.
- Store the removed airbag assembly on a flat surface, away from electrical components and heat sources exceeding 85°C.
