General notes

The following general information is provided for servicing the multiple restraint system (MRS):

Disconnecting the battery terminals 

NB: After disconnecting the battery terminals, wait 1 minute before starting work on the MRS safety system. 

After disconnecting the battery terminals, 1 minute must be waited before starting work on the MRS safety system. The waiting period ensures that the capacitors with the energy reserve of the system are completely discharged. This prevents inadvertent triggering of airbags or seatbelt tensioners.

Fitting approved seat covers 

NB: only fit approved seat covers. 

Do not fit seat covers, cushions or other objects on the front seats that have not been specially approved for seats with integrated side airbags. Do not hang articles of clothing, e.g. jackets, over the front seat backrests. This severely impairs or disables the airbag function.
