Seats and Restraints
Here are the most important things
to know about the airbag system:
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also
deflate so quickly that it is often
unnoticeable during the collision.
{
Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Note:
The airbag system and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
in the centre console area. Do not
put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers, and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
your dealer. Furthermore, it might be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system.
When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See
for more
information.
Where Are the Airbags?
Frontal Airbag System
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
{
Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position. Keep the area in
which the airbag inflates clear of
obstructions. Fit the seat belt
correctly and engage it securely.
Only then is the airbag able to
protect.
