ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbag and the seat belt are integral parts
of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-
cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-
perficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered.
Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.
– Work and modifications on the complete airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, ECU, wiring harness, etc.), are
strictly pro-
hibited (except by qualified Network personnel).
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.
