What should I do after the airbag inflates ?

After an inflation, the airbag system is reusable. You simply need to replace the Inflator (gas generator) and to follow the after-inflation process hereunder in order to make sure that your airbag system is not damaged.

Once inflated, the pressure in the airbag cushion will slowly lower. However, the airbag will stay inflated in order to prevent any additional risk after the fall. On the In&box, the “Inflator” LED on the upper left will become red, indicating that the Inflator is empty.

To change the In&motion airbag system correctly, go to the dashboard of the “My In&box” application and click on the tab at the top right as shown in the image. You will only have to follow the 4 steps of changing the Inflator as detailed on the screen.

Some warnings regarding the inflator before starting the process: 

  • CAUTION: only Inflators supplied by IN&MOTION (references: IMI 2368 or IMI 7112) are certified and ensure the correct operation of the IN&MOTION airbag system. Under no circumstances should other references be used.
  • The Inflator must be handled with care, by the tube. Do not drop.
  • Do not place your fingers on the connector at the end of the Inflator (blue or black part depending on the Inflator).
  • Do not connect the inflator to the connector before it is screwed into the airbag vest.

In case of damage or anomaly, do not use your airbag product and contact your local reseller.

To carry out maintenance on your airbag product, contact your dealer.
