SOLUTION
The possible causes are as follows:

• the airbag was rolled up instead of being folded correctly.
• a strap or other item is preventing the airbag-compartment zip from
opening fully.
• the inflator's fabric caver is incorrectly closed, and an item is pre-
venting the valve from closing correctly.
The possible causes are as follows:
• the system has not been set.
• the cartridges have already been used.
• the inflator valve is jammed (it may have been stuck, for example
by a sugary drink leaking inside the pack, or some other reason).
The possible cause:
• the handle did not return to the upper position.
