30 Airbag system
WARNING
The airbag system provides protection for one accident only. If they have
been deployed, they must be replaced.
●Ensure deployed airbags and the system components involved are im-
mediately replaced with new, SEAT-approved components for the vehicle.
●Have any repairs or modifications carried out at a specialised work-
shop. Specialised workshops have the necessary tools, diagnostics
equipment, repair information and qualified personnel.
●Never fit recycled or reused airbag components in your vehicle.
●Never modify the airbag system components.
WARNING
If the airbags are triggered, a fine dust is produced. This is normal and it
is not an indication of fire in the vehicle.
●This fine dust may irritate the skin and eyes and cause breathing dif-
ficulties, particularly in people suffering from or who have suffered from
asthma or other illnesses of the respiratory tract. To reduce breathing dif-
ficulties, get out of the vehicle and open and doors and windows to
breath in fresh air.
●Should you touch the dust, wash your hands and face using a mild
soap and water before you eat.
●Prevent the dust from affecting the eyes or open wounds.
●Rinse your eyes with water if you have dust in them.
WARNING
Solvents cause the surfaces of the airbag modules to become porous. If
an airbag is accidentally triggered, the detachment of plastic parts could
cause serious injury.
●Never clean the dash panel and the surfaces of the airbag modules
with cleaners containing solvents.
