If you plug them in the wrong way round, the pretensioner cartridge becomes a charge for the ejector seat.








Sound more exciting? :wink:

I have heard they can be set off, but in all fairness it wont.
I was fine when i unplugged mine.
If your really worried just disconect the battery when unpluging them.

if you set them off when you unplug them you'll be the first oin the world to do so.

Kick the centre console hard enough you might get em to go off though.

I didn't even realise mine were unplugged until me and winston noticed and i'd had the car over a year!

I was so untensed!
