Proper connection to the electrical system, adherence to power disconnection procedures, and checking for errors in the control unit after installation are essential for the system to function correctly.

Before installation, it is recommended to verify the condition of the connectors, the wiring harness, and compatibility with other safety system components in the vehicle. After completing the installation work, it is necessary to perform computer diagnostics to confirm that there are no active errors in the airbag system.
