Airbag system repairs and situations that can affect the system function
Volkswagen guidelines must be followed when performing repairs and technical modifications ⇒
.
Only have modifications and repairs on the front bumper, doors, front seats, headliner, or vehicle body performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Airbag system
components and sensors may be located on these vehicle components.
Airbag system components can be damaged during all procedures on the airbag system and when removing and installing system components while performing
other repair procedures. This may prevent the airbags from deploying or cause them to deploy incorrectly in the event of an accident.
The instructions must be followed so that the effectiveness of the airbags is not impaired and removed components do not cause injuries and environmental
pollution. An authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility will be familiar with these provisions. Volkswagen recommends contacting an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
A modification to the vehicle suspension can impair the functionality of the airbag system during a collision. For example, using a rim/tire combination that is not
approved by Volkswagen, lowering the vehicle, or changing the suspension stiffness including the springs, suspensions struts, shock absorbers, etc., can change
the force that is measured by the airbag sensors and transmitted to the electronic control module. For example, some changes to the suspension can increase the
force measured by the systems and trigger the airbag system in accidents where the airbags would normally not be deployed if the modifications had not been
made. Other modifications can reduce the force measured by the sensors and prevent the airbag from deploying when it should have deployed.
WARNING
Repairs and modifications that were done incorrectly can cause damage and malfunctions to the vehicle as well as impair the effectiveness of the airbag
system. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Only have suitably qualified professionals make repairs or modifications to a vehicle. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The airbag module cannot be repaired; it must be replaced.
Never install airbag components removed from old vehicles or from recycling.
