Risk of injury Action
In contrast to the other airbag units, the gas
generators of the windowbags do not contain solid
fuel, but are filled with highly compressed gas
and must not be cut!
If a gas generator bursts, and sharp edged parts
may be ejected at high speeds, causing injuries to
the occupants and the rescuers.
The loud noise may result in casualties suffering
a blast trauma.
For this reason, we urgently recommend
removing the appropriate inner paneling and
checking whether and where gas generators for
windowbags are installed before commencing any
cutting work. Mark the installation location on
the outside of the vehicle.
i Of the current smart model series, only the
smart forfour (model 454) is equipped with
windowbags. The gas generators are located at
the top in the roof frame.
