Airbag system
The airbag system consists of several
individual systems.
When triggered, the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags inflate to form
safety cushions for the driver and
front passenger.
When triggered, the side airbag
inflates to form a safety cushion for
the driver and/or front passenger in
the respective door area.
When triggered, the curtain airbag
inflates to provide a safety barrier in
the head area on the respective side
of the vehicle.
No impairment of view will occur, as
airbags inflate and deflate so quickly
that they are often not noticed in an
accident.
The airbag system and belt
tensioner control electronics can be
found in the centre console area. In
order to avoid malfunctions, do not
store magnetic objects in this area.
Do not stick or place anything on
the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seatbacks in the vicinity
of the airbags and seat areas or
cover them with other materials.
Each airbag can be triggered only
once. Once triggered, an airbag
must be replaced immediately.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Do not perform any modifications to
the components of the airbag
system, as this will render the
vehicle unroadworthy.
We recommend having the
steering wheel, the instrument
panel, all panelling parts, the door
seals, handles and the front seats
removed by a workshop.
