2. Replace the steering wheel with the safety unit installed only with types of steering wheels approved by the RENAULT manufacturer.
3. It is not allowed to stick the plate on the steering wheel that covers the airbag unit. It is forbidden to put a cover on it or perform identical actions. The surface of the plate can be wiped with a dry or water-soaked cloth or with a cleaning agent approved by the vehicle manufacturer for this purpose.
The presence of an airbag is not a reason for refusing to use a seat belt. All passengers in the cabin must be fastened while driving. This is the only way to ensure their maximum safety.
4. It is not allowed to install a child seat in the passenger seat if it is also equipped with an airbag.
5. Replace both the control units of the deployed airbag and the airbag itself with new ones. The work is done in the workshop.
6. Disconnect the wire terminal from the battery «masses» (-) before the effusion genius works on airbags. Wrap tape around the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental contact.
It is recommended that after disconnecting the battery, the airbags should only be activated after 6 minutes. This time is necessary for the airbag control module capacitor to discharge.
7. Lock the steering shaft in the straight ahead position before removing the steering wheel. This prevents possible damage to the contact block when installing the steering wheel.
8. Store the removed airbag under lock and key if the repair work is delayed.
9. Do not lubricate the airbag unit with oil, cleaners or similar aggressive agents.
10. The airbag and its control unit are impact sensitive. If they fall from a height of more than 50 cm, their subsequent installation is not allowed. If the fall occurred from a lower height, then the pillow and control unit should be checked in the workshop.
11. Fasten the terminal of the welding set directly to the workpiece. Anyway wire terminal «masses» (-) should be disconnected from the battery terminal. Disconnect the airbag unit power plug.
Under the center console, in front of the gear lever, there is a control unit for airbags and seat belt tensioners. To avoid damage to the unit, do not attach objects with electromagnetic radiation, such as speakers, to the console.
12. Do not expose the airbag and the control unit even for a short time to temperatures above +90°C. In case of failure, the unit should be replaced as a set. Their repair is not allowed. Airbag system components must not be opened by force.
13. Self-disposal of the airbag is not allowed. Explosion hazard.
14. Disconnect the wire terminal «masses» (-) when performing work on the underbody of the vehicle or on the OI' exhaust system, which will require the use of a hammer. After disconnecting the terminal, wait 5 minutes to allow the system to deactivate.
When the ignition is switched on, the airbag/seatbelt warning light should come on and then turn off after 3 seconds. If the light does not light up, then this is evidence of a malfunction in the system. If the light does not go out or lights up while driving, then this is also evidence of a defect in the system. In this case, it is recommended to assume that the airbags are not working.
