Installation recommendations
Warning: Work on airbags is safety critical. Generally/typically, installation should be carried out exactly according to the manufacturer’s service procedure and with an emphasis on safely disconnecting the vehicle’s power supply to minimize the risk of unwanted activation or failure of the SRS system. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.
1) Before assembly (checks of the used part, what to compare with the old part)
- Compare the part codes (96379999ZE, 8216Y4) with the old airbag and with the tags on the original part.
- Check that the design and color of HZE- – TRAMONTANE matches your interior.
- Visually check that the airbag cover/element is not cracked, deformed, damaged or otherwise degraded.
- Check the connectors and pins: they must not be bent, oxidized or mechanically damaged.
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general, without specific extra parts)
- Normal set of hand tools (ratchet/extension, screwdrivers according to the type of joints)
- Tool for dismantling interior plastics (plastic crowbar)
- Clean gloves for handling the work
- Diagnostics for the SRS system (to check defects after assembly)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure (typically)
- Secure the vehicle against movement and turn off the ignition.
- Disconnect the battery and wait the time specified by the manufacturer for the SRS to safely deactivate.
- Remove the necessary interior parts/covers to gain access to the passenger airbag (procedure varies by model).
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connector – do not pull on the wiring, work with the securing elements of the connector.
- Undo the fasteners and remove the original airbag.
- Compare the old and new part (codes, connector, shape, attachment) before installation.
- Place the airbag in place and secure it with the original fasteners in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedure.
- Connect the airbag connector and verify that the connector is properly secured.
- Reinstall the removed interior parts and check that nothing is pressing on the wiring.
- Connect the battery.
- Check the SRS system with diagnostics and verify the status of the airbag light according to the standard behavior of the vehicle.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Verify that the connectors are firmly secured and the wiring is not pinched.
- Check that the interior parts fit properly and nothing is warping or loosening.
- Perform the SRS diagnostic check and make sure the system is not malfunctioning.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Not disconnecting the battery before work – always safely disconnect the power according to the manufacturer’s procedure.
- Connector or wiring damage – do not handle wires, use proper fuse release.
- Part exchange without code check – always verify 96379999ZE and 8216Y4 before fitting.
- Improper fit/interior tension – after assembly, check wiring routing and alignment of parts.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Activation in the event of an accident – after firing, the airbag is intended for replacement.
- Damage to the interior (cracking, deformation of the cover) around the installation site.
- Moisture and corrosion in the connector area leading to contact problems.
- Incompetent handling during disassembly/assembly (damage to the connector, wiring or attachment).
