Renault Clio: Rear wiring: Removal - Refitting

Renault Clio III (2005-2013) Service Manual / Electrical Equipment / Wiring Harness / Rear wiring: Removal - Refitting

B85 or K85

IMPORTANT

Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation recommendations before carrying out any repair (see 88A, Wiring harness, Wiring: Precautions for the repair, 88A-5).

IMPORTANT

To avoid any risk of triggering when working on or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pretensioners), lock the airbag computer using the diagnostic tool.

When this function is activated, all the trigger lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on the instrument panel lights up continuously (ignition on).

IMPORTANT

Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (pretensioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or naked flame - they may be triggered.

WARNING

To prevent damage to the wiring harness when refitting, observe the original routing.
