Last modified: 23/09/2022 14:31:54

WARNING: This procedure is a DRAFT, although it has been validated. Warnings and Cautions might be missing. Follow safety requirements and use extreme caution when working on or near high voltage systems and components. Provide corrections and feedback to ServiceDevelopment@teslamotors.com.
WARNING: Remove the seat from the vehicle before performing this procedure. Do not perform this procedure with the seat installed in the vehicle and connected to power.
WARNING: While strict ESD precautions are not necessary, care should be taken not to touch the conductors leading to the explosive devices. Static electricity can build up and force an explosive deployment of the device.
WARNING: Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing the following procedure.
WARNING: Never re-use any of the hazardous waste parts; airbags, retractors and pre-tensioners must always be connected to the vehicle in Manufacturing Operating System (MOS) to track vehicle history.
WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when cutting with the safety knife. Cut away from the body, and keep the free hand away from the path of the blade.
WARNING: Only after removing the airbag and pre-tensioner (if applicable) can the seat be discarded. Do not scrap seats with an airbag or pre-tensioner still installed, and do not place the entire seat into the hazardous waste receptacle or otherwise outsource the work of removing the airbag and pre-tensioner from the seat.
NOTE: Model S and Model X front seat airbag removal shown. Procedures for Model 3 and Model Y front seat airbag removal are similar.
NOTE: This document is only applicable to airbags installed in the front seats. Follow best practices for other airbags in the vehicle. Refer to the Airbag and Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Component Replacement Policy in the Service Information
