activation of the system, have the parts replaced by a DAF Service dealer to
provide the same protection.
– In the event of a minor collision not causing the airbag and safety belt
tensioner system to be activated, it is still recommended to have the system
checked by a DAF Service dealer.
NOTE:
The airbag fabric can cause slight injury because of the rapid move-
ment of the airbag during activation. People wearing spectacles and
persons smoking when driving run an increased risk of facial injury
in a collision involving deployment of the airbag. Usually the injuries
are by no means as serious as the injuries that may occur in a collision
without airbag and safety belt tensioners.
WARNING!
– Do not touch any parts of the airbag/safety belt tensioner
systems after deployment.
After deployment the parts of the airbag/safety belt tensioner
systems may be hot. Touching these parts can cause burns or
serious injury.
Work
– Observe the DAF safety precautions when repairing, removing or replacing
the airbag or safety belt tensioner system or parts thereof. For this reason,
have this work carried out by an approved DAF Service dealer or DAF
workshop only.
– Do not make any modifications to the airbag and safety belt tensioner
system or parts thereof. This would cause an injury hazard and correct
activation can then no longer be guaranteed.
– Observe the DAF safety precautions regarding the airbag and safety belt
tensioner system when the vehicle is scrapped or dismantled.
– Retrofitting of accessories is only permitted if the accessories are approved
by DAF for vehicles with an airbag and safety belt tensioner. Installation must
take place at the position indicated by DAF and according to the procedure
specified by DAF.
– When replacing the windscreen, observe a longer drying time for the
windscreen sealant. This longer drying time is usually stated on the
windscreen sealant packing or tube. If in doubt, contact DAF or the
windscreen sealant supplier.
– If any welding is required, observe DAF's safety precautions for welding jobs.
Sales
– If the ownership of the vehicle is transferred, the previous owner must make
the new owner aware of the above instructions.
