Airbag Obstructions
To ensure correct deployment of the
airbags, it is essential that obstructions
are not allowed to intervene between an
airbag and the occupant. The following
are examples of the type of obstructions
t h a t c o u l d e i t h e r, i m p e d e c o r r e c t
operation of the airbags, or jeopardize
personal safety in the event of an airbag
deployment:
1. Accessories attached to or obstruct-
ing an airbag
2. Items of hand luggage or other
objects placed on an airbag cover
3. Non-approved seat covers/
accessory seat covers fitted over a
front seat; in particular, seat covers
that have not been designed for use
with side airbags. This may result in
a d v e r s e p e r f o r m a n c e a n d / o r

Operation of Front Airbags
The airbag system is designed in such a
way that the driver and front passenger
airbag are deployed in the event of a
frontal collision of major severity.
In certain accident situations, the front,
s i d e a n d c u r t a i n a i r b a g a r e
simultaneously deployed.
If the airbags are deployed, the airbags
are filled with a propellant gas and
inflated in front of the driver and front
passenger. The movement of the driver
and of the front passenger is cushioned
when they make contact with the fully
inflated airbag and the risk of injury to
head and chest is thus reduced.
