02-7 Body
Airbag units: Visual inspection
Inspecting operation of airbag unit
When the ignition is switched on the airbag warning lamp
K75 lights up for approximately 4 seconds. Should the
warning lamp flash again for a further 12 seconds this is
an indication that the front passenger airbag or the side
airbag unit on the front passenger is electronically locked
(valid for vehicles which do not have an airbag switch-off
function).
The warning lamp will go out after 4 seconds for vehicles
which are fitted with an airbag switch-off function and
switching off of the front passenger airbag will be sig-
nalled by the warning lamp „AIRBAG OFF“ in the middle
of the dash panel.
♦If warning lamp K75 does not go out after 4 seconds
and lights up continously there is a fault.
♦If the warning lamp goes out and then lights up again
the control unit is not coded, the wrong control unit has
been fitted or there is a fault.
♦If the airbag warning light K75 flashes constantly, it is
then necessary to replace the airbag control unit J234.
If the warning light indicates a fault, the fault must be
rectified (repair measure) Body Work; Rep. Gr. 01.
Inspecting airbag for external damage
Driver and front passenger airbag units
The logo „AIRBAG“ on the padded boss of the steering
wheel (driver's side) and on the right side of the dash pan-
el (passenger side) indicates that an airbag is fitted.
–Carry out a visual inspection of the padded boss of the
steering wheel -1- and surface of the dash panel -2-
on the front passenger side for external damage.
–Undertake a visual inspection of the front seats to de-
termine any damage (valid for vehicles with side air-
bags).
♦Only use original seat upholstery approved for side
airbags.
♦The use of commercially available protective seat cov-
ers is prohibited as this impairs the operation of the
side airbags.
♦Replace all harpoon clips with new original parts.
♦In the event of damage to the upholstery - tears, burn
holes etc. - in the area of the side airbag always re-
place the upholstery with a new original part for safety
reasons.
