Storage
Airbag modules and seat belt pretensioners are
classed as explosive devices. For overnight and
longer term storage, they must be stored in a secure
steel cabinet which has been approved as suitable
for the purpose and has been registered by the local
authority.
For the temporary storage of an airbag module or
seat belt pretensioner during service, place in a
designated storage area. If there is no designated
storage area available, store in the luggage
compartment of the vehicle and inform the workshop
supervisor. Always observe the following
precautions when temporarily storing an airbag
module:
lEnsure the cover is facing upwards and the
luggage compartment is secured.
lAlways keep components cool, dry and free
from contamination.
lDo not allow anything to rest on the airbag
module.
lStore any removed airbag assembly on a
secure flat surface away from electrical
equipment and heat sources exceeding 85
°C
(185
°F).
WARNING: Store the airbag module or seat belt
pre-tensioner in a designated storage area. If
there is no designated storage area available,
store in the locked luggage compartment/
loadspace of the vehicle and inform the
workshop supervisor.Installation and testing precautions
The integrity of SRS system components are critical
for safety reasons. Ensure the following precautions
are always adhered to:
lNever install used SRS components from
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS
component.
lWhen repairing an SRS system, only use
genuine new parts.
lNever apply electrical power to an SRS
component unless instructed to do so as part of
an approved test procedure.
lSpecial Torx bolts are necessary for installing
the airbag assembly. Do not use other bolts.
Ensure bolts are tightened to the specified
torque.
lEnsure that SRS component fixings are
correctly positioned and torqued during service
and repair.
lAlways use new fixings when replacing an SRS
component.
lEnsure the airbag DCU is always installed
correctly. There must not be any gap between
the DCU and the bracket to which it is mounted.
An incorrectly mounted unit could cause the
system to malfunction.
lThe airbag DCU is a non-serviceable
component and no attempt should be made to
repair or modify the unit.
lDo not try to disassemble the airbag assembly.
It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has
been deployed, it cannot be repaired or reused.
lIf you suspect an airbag assembly could be
defective, install a new unit and dispose of the
old unit. Manually deploy the old unit before
disposal.
WARNING: Keep clear of the deployment zone
when working on or near an airbag module.
Accidental deployment could cause serious
injury.

Rotary coupler
Always follow the Repair procedure for fitting the
rotary coupler.
Comply with all safety and installation procedures to
ensure the system functions correctly. Observe the
following precautions:
lDo not install a rotary coupler if it is suspected to
be defective.
lDo not attempt to service, modify or repair a
rotary coupler.
lDo not cut, splice or modify the wires attached
to yellow SRS connector and lead.
lAlways ensure the rotary coupler connectors
are mated correctly and securely fastened.
lAlways ensure the battery is disconnected
before working on the rotary coupler.
lAlways ensure the rotary coupler is removed
and installed in its centered position and with the
front road wheels in the straight ahead position.
lIf a new rotary coupler is being installed, ensure
the locking tab holding the coupler's rotational
position is not broken; units with a broken
locking tab should not be used.
Warning labels
Warning symbols are displayed at various positions
in the vehicle (either in a suitable prominent position
such as driver and passenger side glass, or attached
to the component itself) to indicate SRS items which
must be treated with particular care. Exact positions
of SRS warning labels may vary dependent on
legislation and market trends.
WARNING: It is imperative that before any work
is undertaken on the SRS system the appropriate
information is read thoroughly.
Side window label

GENERAL INFORMATION

Air Conditioning System Precautions
General
The air conditioning system contains fluids and
components which could be potentially hazardous to
the service engineer or the environment if not
serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the
importance of ensuring the integrity of the Air
Conditioning operating conditions and components
fitted to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the relevant sections of this Manual which
should be referred to prior to commencing repair
operations.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
HFC-134a (Hydrofluorocarbon) R134a.
WARNING: Servicing must only be carried out by
personnel familiar with both the vehicle system
and the charging and testing equipment. All
operations must be carried out in a well
ventilated area away from open flame and heat
sources.
WARNING: R134a is a hazardous liquid and when
handled incorrectly can cause serious injury.
Suitable protective clothing, consisting of face
protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and
rubber apron or waterproof overalls, must be
worn when carrying out operations on the air
conditioning system.
Remedial actions
If an accident involving R134a should occur, conduct
the following remedial actions:
lIf liquid R134a enters the eye, do not rub it.
Gently run large quantities of eye wash over
affected eye to raise the temperature. If an eye
wash is not available, cool, clean water may be
used to flush the eye. After rinsing, cover the
eye with a clean pad and seek immediate
medical attention.lIf liquid R134a is splashed onto the skin, run
large quantities of water over the affected area
to raise the temperature. Implement the same
action if the skin comes in contact with
discharging cylinders. Wrap the contaminated
body parts in blankets (or similar materials) and
seek immediate medical attention.
lIf the debilitating effects of inhalation of R134a
vapour is suspected, seek fresh air. If the
affected person is unconscious, move them
away from the contaminated area to fresh air
and apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen
and seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING: Due to its low evaporating
temperature, R134a must be handled with care.
R134a splashed on any part of the body will
cause immediate freezing of that area. Also,
refrigerant cylinders and replenishment trolleys
when discharging will freeze skin to them if
contact is made.
Service precautions
Observe the following precautions when handling
components used in the air conditioning system:
lAir conditioning units must not be lifted by their
hoses, pipes or capillary lines.
lHoses and lines must not be subjected to any
twist or stress; the efficiency of the system will
be impaired by kinks or restrictions. Ensure that
hoses are correctly positioned before tightening
couplings, and ensure that all clips and supports
are utilised.
lFlexible hoses should not be positioned close to
the exhaust manifold (less than 100mm) unless
protected by heat shielding.
lCompleted assemblies must be checked for
refrigeration lines touching metal panels. Any
direct contact of components and panels may
transmit noise and so must be eliminated.
lThe appropriate torque wrench must be used
when tightening refrigerant connections to the
stipulated value. An additional spanner must be
used to hold the union to prevent twisting of the
pipe when tightening connections.
lBefore connecting any hose or pipe, ensure that
refrigerant oil is applied to the seat of the new 'O'
rings, BUT NOT to the threads of the
connection.
lAll protective plugs must remain in place to seal
the component until immediately prior to
connection.
lEnsure components are at room temperature
before uncapping, to prevent condensation of
moisture from the air that enters it.
