18. Actions in the Event of an Accident
Whenever the System deploys, a service must be undertaken by an authorized Alpinestars'
Tech-Air
Service Center that will check the status of the System and consequently advise
®
on the type of service needed.
The Tech-Air
Off-Road System features an Airbag that, if intact and undamaged, is certified
®
for up to four inflations. Moreover, since each crash is an unpredictable event, Alpinestars
certifies the Airbag for the first crash, NOT for the first deployment.
After each deployment, when the System is received for service, the authorized Alpinestars'
Tech-Air
Service Center will perform an Airbag Integrity Test on the Airbag to check if the
®
Airbag has been damaged during the deployment.
a. If such inflation test is passed, confirming that the Airbag was not damaged during the
deployment, the service will involve only the replacement of the Gas Inflators.
b. If such inflation test is not passed, it means . the Airbag was damaged during the
deployment and, accordingly, the System will undergo the full service that will involve the
replacement of the Gas Inflators and the Airbag.
At the fourth deployment, the System will mandatorily undergo a full service as indicated in
point 18.b. above, with the Gas Inflators (17) and Airbag being replaced.
IMPORTANT!
The Tech-Air
deployments. After the fourth deployment, the System will permanently
indicate a System Fault (displaying a solid red light on the Status LED
(4c)). The System will remain locked until a full service is performed by an
authorized Alpinestars' Tech-Air
The Tech-Air
®
replaced at the next deployment. In addition, the App displays the warning
when, after the System deployment, it is necessary to replace the Airbag.
WARNING!
Alpinestars STRONGLY RECOMMENDS to perform a System check by
an authorized Alpinestars' Service Center after EACH inflation and/
or after any events that could have potentially damaged the Airbag.
In case of deployment, in a situation where the User believes the System should not have
deployed, the System should also be returned to an Alpinestars' Tech-Air
a detailed report of the event (including photos, if possible).
