♦ After body repairs in vicinity of curtain airbag, check body for

1.8 Deactivating the airbag
WARNING
The prerequisites for deactivating one or more airbag units
have been published in the “Technical Service Handbook”.
Airbags and belt tensioners are important elements of a
vehicle’s safety concept. These systems should therefore only
be switched off in exceptional circumstances.
A DISS request must always be created for any deactivation.
Any deactivation of the airbag units is subject to compulsory
registration.
Failure to comply means that the workshop responsible will
bear full responsibility for subsequent damage and costs.
Ensure when deactivating that the customer is made aware of
the vehicle’s status. The customer must also be informed that
he will be unable to claim against the manufacturer for dam‐
ages resulting from accidents in which injuries could have been
prevented with the airbags. The customer bears sole respon‐
sibility for the conversion.
Please observe the procedure in the workshop manual in all
instances.
In the “Technical Service Handbook”, the “Procedure ID” or the
“Technical solution number” for the deactivation of airbag units is:
“2022327/2”.
Or search for “Deactivating airbag units” or “Deactivating airbag”.
