SPECIAL FEATURES
Passenger airbag (PAB) switch:
If it becomes necessary to fit a child
restraint on the front passenger seat,
the airbag must be de-activated using
the switch located on the left side of the
dashboard. This switch can be accessed
once codriver side door is opened.
On the contrary, when an adult is seated
in the front passenger seat, ensure that
PAB disabling switch is turned to ‘ON’
position. This will ensure that the
passenger airbag is operational in the
event of a collission.
This switch is operated using the ignition
/ remote key.
AIRBAG (SRS)
WARNING
• The airbag is a supplementary
restraint system that provides
ADDITIONAL protection in a severe
collision only. It does NOT replace
the need to wear a seat belt.
Relying on the airbags alone could
lead to severe injuries in a collision.
The airbags work with your seat belt
to restrain you properly. Always
wear your seat belts even though
you have airbags.
• To ensure correct deployment of
the airbags, it is essential that
obstructions are not allowed to
intervene between airbag and the
occupant. Do not put anything on
or around the front airbag covers
or attempt to open them. You may
damage the airbags and you could
be injured because the airbags are
no longer functional. These
protective covers for the airbag
cushions are designed to open only
when the airbags are inflating.
• Seating position plays an important
role in minimizing the risk of
accidental injury. In addition to
properly worn seat belts, both driver
and front passenger should adjust
their seat to provide the maximum
practical distance from the front
airbags. Airbags need room to
inflate. Being too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard during
airbag deployment could cause
serious injury.
