1.5 AIRBAG SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vehicles equipped with an airbag and safety belt tensioner system have a sticker with
the airbag symbol on the windscreen. In addition, there is an identification 'AIRBAG'
visible on the steering wheel. A vehicle equipped with an airbag also has an automatic
safety belt tensioner.
WARNING!
– Do not use equipment or objects using strong electromagnetic
radiation in the vicinity of airbag/safety belt tensioner systems.
Such equipment or objects may cause this system to fail. In extreme
cases, they may cause the system to be activated and can result in
dangerous situations and injury.
Inspections
– The airbag and safety belt tensioner system only functions correctly if:
– After switching on the ignition, the airbag warning symbol appears on the master
display and disappears after approximately 5 to 10 seconds.
– The system does not function correctly if:
– After the ignition is switched on, no airbag warning symbol appears on the
master display.
– After the ignition is switched on, the airbag warning symbol on the master
display changes into an airbag warning after approximately 10 seconds.
– The airbag warning appears on the master display when driving.
– If the system detects a fault, it is unable to activate the airbag and/or safety belt
tensioners and there is no extra protection in the event of a collision. Have the fault
remedied by an approved DAF Service dealer as soon as possible.
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.
