Preparatory work
Disconnect all connectors for the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner modules.
Remove the rack trim.
Remove the front air duct at floor level.
Note: To unscrew the special bolts, use a spanner wrench with a pin (special tool).
Attention:
Before proceeding with removal, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, disconnect both cables from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes.
When performing removal and installation work, do not use air or power tools.
Do not reuse special bolts.
After installation, check if the system is working properly by observing the airbag warning light and the driver's seat belt warning light.
If the airbag warning lamp indicates a malfunction, use the self-diagnosis function or the CONSULT tester to clear the memory.
If the airbag warning light or the driver's seat belt warning light still indicates a problem, diagnose the system. Repair defective components.
If deployed, replace the airbag module and seat belt pretensioner.
