- Remove the trim:
- of the luggage compartment,
- of the rear quarter panel.

- Remove the seat belt mounting bolt (1).

For disposal of an undeployed pretensioner, (see Airbags and Pretensioners chapter, Airbag and Pretensioner Control Unit, page 88C-39).
INSTALLATION

After a pretensioner has deployed, certain parts must be replaced without fail (see Airbags and Pretensioners chapter, Airbag and Pretensioner Control Unit, page 88C-6).

- Tighten to the following torques:
- the pretensioner mounting bolt (2.1 daN.m),

Check the airbag ECU using the diagnostic tool.
- If everything is correct, unlock the airbag control unit; otherwise, refer to the diagnostic manual.
