General notes
The following general instructions have been issued for servicing the safety system:
Caution After disconnecting the battery terminals, wait 1 minute before starting work on the safety system.
Following disconnection of the battery terminals, personnel must allow at least one minute to elapse before starting work on the safety system. The waiting period ensures that the capacitors with the energy reserve of the system are completely discharged. This prevents inadvertent triggering of airbags or seatbelt tensioners.
Do not fit seat covers, cushions or other objects on the front seats that have not been specially approved for seats with integrated side airbags. Do not hang articles of clothing, e.g. jackets, over the front seat backrests. This severely impairs or disables the airbag function.
