the dashboard since they could interfere
with correct inflation of the passenger
airbag and also cause serious injury to the
passengers.
136)
The airbag must be able to inflate
without obstruction in the event of
deployment. It is therefore recommended
not to drive with the body bent forward,
but to sit up resting your back and
shoulders on the backrest of the seat.
Adjusting the position of the seat so
that you can reach and manoeuvre the
steering wheel comfortably with your arms
slightly bent being as far away as possible
from the steering wheel. Being too close
to the steering wheel when the airbag is
deployed may cause serious injury.
137) When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in a crash could
cause fatal injuries to the child regardless
of the severity of the collision. Therefore,
always deactivate the passenger side
airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front passenger
seat must also be positioned back as
far as possible in order to prevent the
child restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Immediately
reactivate the passenger airbag as soon
as the child restraint system has been
removed.
138)
The front airbags and/or side bags
may be deployed if the car is subject to
heavy knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, pavements
or low obstacles, the car falling in big
holes or dips in the road.
