MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER
SIDE FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must be carried on the front seat, the front
passenger side air bag and side bag for chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided)
must be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
will stay on
constantly until the passenger's front air bag and the
Side Bag for chest protection are reactivated (for
versions/markets where provided).
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger
side front air bag and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
section "Knowing your car", paragraph “Multifunction
display”.
SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver
and passenger (for versions/markets where provided)
for protecting the chest and window bags (for
versions/markets where provided) for protecting
front and rear passengers' heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided)
protect occupants from side impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between the occupant
and the internal parts of the side structure of the
vehicle. Non-activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc...) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side-on collision. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants' bodies and the structures which could
cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are
not a replacement of but complementary to the
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
