FRONT AIRBAG113
Replacing the airbag pyrotechnic systems
They must be replaced following deployment or within ten years after first
registration of the vehicle. This must be done by the dealer network. In accordance with the strict security regulations in force, any repairs or checks must be performed exclusively by the dealer network. Any repairs that have not been carried out in strict compliance with the regulations could prevent the systems from operating correctly or couldcause their premature deployment, with the risk of bodily injuries.
Warning When the airbag(s) is(are) deployed, there is a light discharge of harmless smoke and a loud noise; both are due to the detonation of the explosive cartridge(s) forming part of the airbag system.
This smoke is not toxic but may cause irritation to people suffering from respiratory problems.As a precaution therefore, vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after deployment of an airbag (provided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors. The noise associated with the detonation may cause a temporary loss of hearing.These devices can only operate once and cannot provide further protection in the event of a second impact (either during the same collision or in any further collision). It is imperative that the system be repaired by the dealer network.
