BMW X5: Handling Airbags And Restraint Systems
1.0 Airbags and restraint systems
- On vehicles with airbags and restraint systems, observe the relevant safety instructions.
- During straightening work on the body, you will be exposed to the risk
of accidental airbag
triggering when the battery is connected.
Due to this potential hazard, it is essential to disconnect the battery negative lead prior to welding and straightening work. Prior to disconnecting the negative lead, interrogate the fault memories of the control units if necessary.
Handling Electrical and Electronic Equipment
1.0 Battery
- There is a risk of explosion when welding or grinding work is carried out in the vicinity of the battery. The battery must be removed. Prior to removing the battery, interrogate the fault memories of the control units if necessary.
2.0 Control units
- The following hazards are present when the battery is connected:
- Damage to control units during welding work on the body.
- Accidental triggering of airbags during straightening work on the body.
Due to these potential hazards, it is essential to disconnect the battery negative lead prior to welding and straightening work. Prior to disconnecting the negative lead, interrogate the fault memories of the control units if necessary.
- Control units are designed for a temperature of 65ºC. The temperatures in a spraying booth do not pose any problems. If a vehicle is inside the spraying booth at an indicated temperature of 80ºC, the actual temperature of the vehicle will be < or = 60ºC (object temperature).
- Protects control units against the effects of heat at temperatures > 65ºC (e.g. during welding and drying with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).
3.0 Electric cables and wiring harnesses
- Protect electric cables and wiring harnesses against damage (e.g. during straightening and grinding work).
- Protect electric cables and wiring harnesses against the effects of heat at temperatures > 65ºC (e.g. during welding and drying with an infrared radiator or hot air blower).
- Do not kink electric cables.
4.0 Optical fibers
- Follow instructions for handling optical fibers.
Information / Warning Labels
Missing or damaged information/warning labels (e.g. tire inflation pressure) must be replaced.
