Pretensioners and airbag modules from salvaged vehicles cannot be used on other vehicles. If the pretensioners and airbag modules are outdated or damaged,
The warranty period ends and devices may malfunction.
If there are several pretensioners in the car, in an accident one of them may work while the other remains active.
Do not use lubricants, cleaners or similar substances when working with pretensioners.
Failure to do so may result in a fire hazard!
If the vehicle is subjected to thermal or shock (dynamic) load during operation, the pretensioner must be removed before starting work.
Pretensioners should not be soldered, welded, drilled, stitched or machined in any way.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged pretensioner.
Do not block or cover the gas generator outlet. Do not place anything on the pretensioner.
Do not tamper with or change ignition circuit cables or pads.
Possible ways to dispose of damaged pretensioners are suggested, for example, by licensed companies specializing in the handling of pyrotechnic materials.
In the event of interruption or breakdown, the pretensioners must be stored in a safe, enclosed place.
It is forbidden to leave pretensioners in the open unattended.
It is necessary to take the necessary measures to ground the pretensioners to prevent the possibility of unintentional ignition due to static electricity.
This is especially important if the pretensioner wiring is damaged or the safety shunt is not active.
When handling airbag components, only one airbag module or one pretensioner is allowed to be handled and carried by one person.
Carry the module by holding it firmly with both hands so that the decorative cover and base of the container are not directed at your body.
If the airbag module is removed from its original packaging before being installed in the vehicle or its assembly, it must be placed on a flat, hard table surface no more than 1 m high with the decorative cover up.
There must be no loose objects in the airbag deployment area.
It is allowed to place no more than one item on the table.
The pretensioner must be carried by hand with the pyrotechnic tube, lock down, and turned away from the body.
Attention! Never hold the pretensioner by the cable.
In case of accidental damage to the gas generator of the airbag module and the pretensioner, which led to its disassembly and scattering of the pyrotechnic substance, it is necessary to localize the place, blocking the access of all persons.
Assemble the components using a non-static tool.
The person collecting the components must wear rubber gloves and goggles.
Place the collected components in a paper bag together with the gloves in which the collection was made, then place them in a reject isolator in a separate metal container with a lockable lid.
All persons who come into contact with parts of the opened gas generator should wash their hands and face thoroughly with soap and warm water.
When the airbag components are triggered, it is necessary to wait about 30 minutes for the airbag components to cool down.
Depending on the location of the components of the airbag, carry out operations for their selection or dismantling from the vehicle or its assembly and place them in a reject isolation room (storage conditions are normal).
After finishing work with the triggered components of the SNPB, wash your hands with soapy water in warm water.

- - call the doctor on duty or an ambulance for first aid;
- - if a pyrotechnic substance gets into the eyes, rinse them with warm water, drip "albucid 20%";
- - when swallowing a pyrotechnic substance, rinse the stomach, rinse your mouth with ascorbic acid and drink 3-4 sips;
- - in case of contact with the skin of a pyrotechnic substance, wash the skin with ascorbic acid, in case of a burn, after washing, apply Panthenol or Olazol ointment to the affected skin;
- - in case of inhalation of a pyrotechnic substance, place the victim in fresh air;
- - Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any symptoms of illness.
The purpose and principle of operation of the SNPB
The airbag system is an additional means of protecting the driver and front passenger who are wearing seat belts, and is designed to reduce the severity of injury in frontal collisions of the vehicle in traffic accidents.
SNPB is triggered depending on the strength of the car's collision with various obstacles.
In the event of a normal operation in an emergency, the airbag starts regardless of the state of fastening the driver or front passenger with seat belts.
Therefore, the use of seat belts by the driver and front passenger is a prerequisite for the effective operation of the airbag.
The airbag system starts functioning after the ignition is turned on and is controlled by an electronic unit (BUSNPB) with a self-diagnosis function.
The system is activated by applying an electrical signal from the BUSNPB to the airbag module(s) and the seat belt pretensioner.
If the airbag is triggered, the upper part of the cover of the facing module of the airbag, when the airbag is filled with gas, breaks in structurally defined places and opens.
Through the opening formed by the gas, the airbag bag opens in front of the steering wheel or instrument panel.
The pillow filling time is about 30-40 ms.
Simultaneously with the deployment of the airbags, the front seat belt pretensioner is activated, ensuring that the slack in the belt is tightened and securely fixed in the driver's and front passenger's seat.
After the airbag inflates, the overpressure releases the gas through special openings located at the back of the airbag bag, thereby preventing the driver or passenger from colliding with the interior of the car and at the same time mitigating the severity of the impact of their head and chest.
