Side curtain airbag deployment

[Xof in H3]

I heard 'bout that with Pajeros...

But as far as i know, it never happened in Qatar, despite we have some crazy dune bashers with H3 around.

BTW, are u a relative of Alex in Doha who has bought a Cayman??? he told me that his bros had the same **** happening in AbuDhabi. Here is a pic of my english friend... (yeah, i know... a french and an english cannot be friends... well it depend who's in front of you!)



see ya soon... will be transfer to UAE beginning 2007. Is there a H3 club In Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

WTF are you on Xof in H3, yep thats my Bro in Qatar, and thats his severely limited offroad capable vehicle. Goes like f*ck on the road, as demonstrated by him last week during my brief visit to the State of Shatar. Personallly prefer the H3 to anything else on or off the road, cuts it in the dunes and a relaxing highway mile eater on cruise.
If you havent already ditched the side steps, do it now. Replace the OEM "Bad Years" with either Mickey Thompson or BF Goodridge 33" AT's.
Look forward to seeing you out in the dunes of the UAE in 2007.

On a more serious and relevant note the Airbag warning light came on again on todays beginners trip. (ie. easy dunes) Off to the dealer again tomorrow to hopefully get it resolved!

By the way the side airbags went off in 4Hi locked, if that means anything.

And H3 owners, the Porsche Cayman should not represent any problem to drive over considering it's low profile, "Xof in H3" perhaps you could go try it out up there in Qatar just to see if possible! Photos appreciated.

H3 makes the world smaller... so you are his bro! we'll drink a beer @ Rydges for you. I heard i missed you one week ago... it's a pity...
Anyway, i'll get in touch when i arrive in UAE. The trip will be nice through Saudia...

And i'll try to forget to break the next time i see Alex's mower level car...

Thanks to all who gave technical info and not posting Porsche photos! Seems pulling the fuse will be the best option for now. Vehicle currently in dealership to check out the airbag warning light, hope to get some answers this time and get the issue resolved once and for all.

Christophe, check out dubai4x4.com and ad4x4.com I am with the AD lot as I am in Abu Dhabi. Good club and pretty active with a good bunch of people. Enjoy that beer in Rydges Plaza and make sure Bro pays Porsche owner and all that shouldn't be a problem!

Just an update, the dealer has now replaced the roll over sensor module and the airbag light has been extinguished as a result. So far around 3000US$ on warranty. Off to the UAE desert challenge today to test out the H3 properly in the formiddable dunes of The Empty Quarter. Not competing just spectating. Will pull the airbag fuse just to be sure of no re-occurrences.
