Belt tensioner: If the vehicle is equipped with seat belt tensioners that immediately tension the belts in the event of a collision, special precautions must be taken during body work. These devices are activated by electrically ignited gas generators. Self-repair of the seat belt tensioner is strictly prohibited. The disassembly and assembly of these devices must be carried out by workshops, which must comply with strict safety regulations. During bodywork near the automatic belt retractor, use an impact screwdriver or hammer with extreme caution. The seat belt pretensioners are sensitive to vibration and strong shocks and may be triggered. To be on the safe side, before doing any work, pull out the appropriate fuse at the bottom of the car and wait 5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge.
Galvanization: Outside, the body is electrolytically galvanized, and inside - by hot dip galvanizing. Welding produces poisonous zinc oxide, so ensure adequate ventilation in the workplace.
Air conditioner: Welding or soldering work, during which parts of the air conditioner may heat up, is prohibited. The refrigerant circuit must not be opened.
Electrical equipment: Since welding or other work is carried out during which sparks may be generated, be sure to disconnect the battery and carefully insulate both battery terminals (+) And (-).
