The area framed in red (deployment area)
›››
Fig. 19 is covered by the knee airbag when
it is deployed. Objects should never be
placed or mounted in this area.
WARNING
●
The knee airbag is deployed in front of
the driver's knees. Always keep the deploy-
ment areas of the knee airbags free.
●
Never not fix objects to the cover or in the
deployment area of the knee airbag.
●
Adjust the driver's seat so that there is a
distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) be-
tween your knees and the location of the
this airbag. If your physical constitution
prevents you from meeting these require-
ments, make sure you contact a special-
ised workshop.
Side airbags*

Fig. 21 Illustration of completely inflated side
airbags on the left side of the vehicle.
The side airbags are located in the driver's
seat and front passenger seat backrests
›››
Fig. 20 .
The locations are identified by the text “AIR-
BAG” in the upper region of the backrests.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bag system provides additional protection for
the upper body in the event of a severe side
collision
›››
.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injury to passengers to the areas of the
body facing the impact. In addition to their
normal protection, the seat belts also hold
the passengers in the event of a side collision;
this is how these airbags provide maximum
protection.
