Maintenance
– Clean the airbag cover with a dry or damp cloth only. If it is heavily fouled,
ask a DAF Service dealer for a DAF approved cleaning agent.
– After a maximum of 15 years the main components of the airbag and safety
belt tensioner system including the electronic control unit must be replaced
by a DAF Service dealer.
WARNING!
– Do not stick anything to the airbag cover.
– Do not treat the cover with a cleaning agent, solvent, grease,
paint, lacquer or other substance.
Applying objects to the airbag cover can damage the cover. This
can lead to uncontrolled fragmenting of the cover during deploy-
ment of the airbag and can cause unnecessary injury.
Operation
– The airbag and safety belt tensioners are activated in the event of a (near)
head-on collision when a specific vehicle deceleration is exceeded. The airbag
and safety belt tensioners are not be activated when:
– The ignition is switched off.
– The vehicle is involved in a minor head-on collision.
– The vehicle is involved in a lateral collision.
– The vehicle is involved in a tail collision.
– The vehicle overturns.
– The system only provides optimal protection when the safety belt is correctly
worn and the seat, safety belt and steering wheel are well adjusted to the
driver.
WARNING!
– Do not rest any body part (torso, hand, head, foot) close to the
airbag cover.
– Hold the steering wheel by the outer rim as much as possible to
allow unimpeded deployment of the airbag.
– Keep the space between the driver and airbag free.
– Nothing must be placed between the driver and the airbag,
that is, no animals, no objects and no other persons.
Keeping body parts or other objects unnecessarily close to the
airbag cover can cause unnecessary injuries in case the airbag is
activated.
Activation
– If the airbag is activated in a collision, a white powder is released. This is in
no way an indication of fire. The powder itself is not harmful.
– The airbag and safety belt tensioners can be activated only once. After
