GEARS CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
This is to be performed after mounting the engine-gearbox assembly and the assembly lever-
control case every time when : -dismounting of the engine-gearbox assembly, the control bar or the assembly lever-control
case;
- establishing of failures such as: gear change impossibility or unexpected gear uncoupling,
gears blocking.
For the gear control adjustment the CV 550 device i s to be used.
M ount the CV 550 device on the assembly lever- control case.
A ttach the control bar to the c ontrol lever end.
Place the gear lever in the device seat and fix it in this position by means of the device handle.
Tighten the attachment screw 1 of the bar to the lever at the required moment of 1.2 daNm.
Dismount the CV 550 device from the control box.
Check the gears coupling.

AIRBAG OPERATION
When setting the contact on, the airbag system
control indicator from the instrument pa nel is
lighted for 3 seconds then it is off.
UCE airbag is entering in a lookout state and
is considering the vehicle decelerations due to a
s ignal m easured by an integrated e lectronic
decelerometer.
In case of a stronger frontal impact, the
security electromechanical captor is tripping the
igniter of the pyrotechnic gas generator, which is
inflating the driver’s airbag. The airbag system is not releasing in case of a
s ide impact or a re ar impact.
When started, the pyrotechnic gas generator
is generating a detonation and some smoke.
IMPORTANT!
This system must be checked by means of the
CLIP tester, immediately when:
-a n accident did not caused the
movement, -the ve h icle was stolen or a stilling tentative
has been produced. -before selling a second hand vehicle.
AIRBAG INDICATOR FROM INSTRUMENT PANEL
This indicator is showing the operation state of
the driver’s airbag.
It is lighted for 3 seconds from contact setting
on, and then it is getting off and it staying like this.
If it is not on when setting the contact on or it is
on during vehicle driving, this is indicating a failure
in the system (see chapter “Diagnostic”) .
After driver’s airbag releasing, the airba g
indicator from the instrument panel is on and UCE
airbag is automatically bl oc king the driver’s airbag releasin
g line, memorizing the releasin g.
That is why, after an impact generating the
airbag re leasing, i t is necessary the UCE
airbag unblocking, then the computer blocking
in order to block all releasing.
The erasing of the memorized failures it is
possible only aft er data reading from “Im-
p act context” , then the shock sensor con-
tact is restored and the c ontrol “Computer
unblocking” may be performed.
UCE AIRBAG
DISMOUNTING – REMOUNTING
UCE airbag is mounted on the tunnel in
front of the gearbox lever. UCE air bag is provided with: -a security electromechanical captor,
-a decelerometer for airbag
- an ignition circuit of the pyrotechnic
system -an electric energy reserve,
-a diagnostic and memorizing circuit
of the detected failures, -a control circuit of the alert indicator
from instrumen t panel.
-A K-L communication interface with
the diagnostic socket.
UCE AIRBAG BLOCKING
Connect the CLIP tester to the vehicle,
the contact being set off. Set the contact on.
Block the UCE airbag: -select the menu “ Diagnostic”
- select and validate the vehicle type.
-s elect and validate the diagnostic
system “Airbag / Pre-tensioning systems”.
