- Head airbag unit.
- Check door unit carrier for deformation and replace if necessary.
- Sensor for the side airbag unit after the third time the side airbag is triggered.

Because it is difficult to visually determine if one or more belt tensioners has been triggered, check the following points:
- Using the PIWIS Tester 9718, read out the fault memory.
- Check plug connection on the belt tensioner for damage.
- Pull out the belt strap as far as possible and check for wear.
- Perform a function test on the automatic belt device.
