Ordering instructions
If on account of exceptional atmo-
spheric conditions (floods, sea-s-
torms etc.) the water and mud
reaches such a height that the de-
vice components are affected, it
must be replaced.
The pre-tensioner is mainte-
nance-free and should definitely not
be lubricated. Any modifications in-
validate its efficiency.
Bodywork operations
G. Do not subject the area surrounding the
pre-tensioner (60-70 cm radius) to great
impacts due to bodywork repairs (for ex-
ample the use of a hammer; if necessary,
remove the complete pre-tensioner unit.
If it is necessary to use heating lamps on
the paintwork in the area surrounding the
pre-tensioner or to carry out welding or
brazing,
then the complete pre-tensioner
reel assembly has to be removed.
If a vehicle with one or more pre-tensioners
has to be moved, then they should be placed
in the luggage compartment and not in the
passenger compartment which is forbidden.
A pre-tensioner which has not been activated
in the case of an accident should be consid-
ered still active; therefore if they have not ex-
ploded because they are defective or have
reached the end of their warranty or for other
reasons, they should be replaced and re-
turned (the complete device) to the special
Centre following the same procedure as de-
scribed for Air Bag modules (see section 55 -
Electrical equipment).
Follow the same procedures already described for ordering Air Bag modules (see section 55
equipment).
Electrical
NOTE Pre-tensioners have been specially designed to be fitted on each individual type and marque of
vehicle on account of which they cannot be adapted, reused or fitted on other vehicles, but only
on those for which they were designed and produced. Any attempts to reuse, adapt or fit
pre-tensioners on different types of vehicles could cause serious or fatal injuries to the occu-
pants of
the
vehicle both in the case of an accident or in the case of normal usage. After being
fitted the pre-tensioner bracket can be activated if it receives an impact of sufficient force.
