After inflation, the airbag system is reusable. You simply need to replace the Inflator (gas cartridge) and follow the post-inflation procedure below to ensure that your airbag system is not damaged.
Once inflated, the pressure in the airbag pocket will slowly decrease. However, the airbag will remain inflated to prevent any risk after a fall. On the In&box, the "Inflator" LED (indicator light) at the top left turns red: indicating that the Inflator is empty or malfunctioning.
To correctly recharge the In&motion airbag system, go to the dashboard of the "My In&box" app and click on the tab at the top right as shown in the image. Then, follow the 4 detailed recharge steps on the screen.
Some warnings regarding the Inflator before starting the procedure:
- Warning: Only Inflators provided by IN&MOTION (references: IMI 2368 or IMI 7112) are certified and ensure the proper functioning of the IN&MOTION airbag system. Never use other references.
- Handle with care. Do not drop it.
- Do not place your fingers on the connector at the end of the inflator (blue or black part depending on the inflator).
- Never connect the connector before screwing in the inflator.
In case of damage or anomaly, do not use your airbag product and contact your local dealer. For maintenance of your airbag product, contact your dealer. To purchase a new inflator, you can buy it directly from our site or visit your nearest dealer.

1. Check the integrity of the airbag product and plastic parts
- It should not have holes, tears, broken threads, or signs of abrasion. The plastic parts should not have any whitening areas.
- Check that the back protection is not damaged (no holes or tears).
2. Remove the used inflator
Warning: The inflator may be hot after inflation.
Be careful, the inflator should be handled with care! Perform these operations in a clean, dry place and wash your hands before and after replacing the inflator.
- Remove the In&box from the case and access the Inflator by opening the zipper located at the back of the airbag product at the level of the back protector.
- Unclip the Inflator from its housing upwards. To do this, pull the Inflator upwards to remove it from its housing.
Be careful not to force or pull on the cable or connector, as this may damage it.
If you have an IMI 2368 Inflator
- Slide the tool onto the connector.
- Using the tool, press on the 2 black tabs of the connector.
- Keep them pressed and gently pull to disconnect the connector.
If the tool is not with your product, use your fingers to press on the 2 black tabs. If it does not unclip, press on one tab and then the other until it is removed.
If you have an IMI 7112 Inflator
- Pinch the black ring and pull to disconnect the connector.
- Unscrew the used Inflator.
- Check that the seal is properly positioned and not damaged.
At this point, the remaining gas in the airbag pocket will automatically evacuate.
3. Check the airbag pocket
- Screw the inflation adapter provided with your inflator into place of the inflator.
- Using a pump or compressor, inflate the airbag product to 0.3 bars and check that it does not deflate within 5 seconds. Any tire inflation system, such as those available at gas stations, can be used.
- While the airbag product is inflated, check for any signs of tearing, and ensure that the seams are not coming apart. If it does not inflate or deflates quickly, do not use your airbag product and contact your local dealer.
- Disconnect the inflation system, unscrew the inflation adapter, and release all the air from the airbag pocket.
4. Install the new inflator
Warning: There are two types of inflators, depending on your airbag product model.
Unsure which Inflator reference to choose? Test it on the store or visit this article.
Note, never connect the connector before screwing in the inflator.
- Ensure that all the air has been evacuated from the airbag pocket.
- Screw in the new inflator tightly.
- Reconnect the connector. Ensure it is properly clipped in.
If you have an IMI 2368 inflator
If you have an IMI 7112 inflator
- Clip the inflator into its housing.
- Verify that the inflator is correctly positioned in its housing.
- The alu cap should be placed against the spacer.
- Close the zipper.
- Place the In&box back into its housing to verify the operation. If the inflator LED turns green, the operation has been successful.
Finally, check the boxes in the mobile app to confirm that the procedure has been completed and click the "Validate" button.
