Safety
Front passenger seat
The airbags are interconnected and have a
common warning light, AIR BAG. The pas-
senger airbag module is housed in the
fascia above the glove compartment and is
marked ”SRS AIR BAG”.
Both airbags will be inflated in the event of a
moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal
collision, even if the passenger seat is unoc-
cupied.
Side airbag
WARNING
Never secure a rear-facing child seat in
the right front seat of a car equipped with
a passenger airbag. Inflation of the airbag
in the event of an accident could seriously
injure or kill a child.
WARNING
• Children 12 and under can be killed by
the airbag.
• The back seat is the safest place for
children.
• Never allow a child to stand in front of
the seat or to sit on the lap of a
front-seat passenger. Serious injury or
death could result if the airbag is
inflated in a collision.
• The glove compartment must be
closed while travelling. An open
glove-compartment door could cause
leg injuries in the event of a collision.
• Never place anything on the dash or in
front of the seat as, in addition to being
a hazard to passengers, this could
interfere with the function of the airbag
in the event of an accident. The same
applies to the mounting of accessories
on the dash.
• Keep feet on the floor - never put feet
up on the dash, on the seat or out of
the window.
• Do not carry anything in your lap.
WARNING
• This car is equipped with side airbags
and no extra interior trim should be fit-
ted. Failure to observe this warning
could result in the side airbags not
inflating as intended and thus not pro-
viding the intended protection either.
• Never place any object in the area that
would be occupied by the inflated air-
bag.
• For optimum protection, sit upright in
the seat, with your safety belt correctly
fastened.
• The sensors for the side airbags are
fitted in the front doors.
