front passenger front airbag.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants addi-
tional protection for the head and chest in
the event of a severe frontal collision. The
curtain airbags on both sides are also trig-
gered in the event of certain types of frontal
collision.
Always keep as far away from the front air-
bag as possible → page 34. This allows the
front airbags to inflate fully when triggered,
thus providing maximum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in
the steering wheel → Fig. 33 and the front
airbag for the front passenger is located in
the dash panel → Fig. 34 . The airbag loca-
tions are identified by the text “AIRBAG”.
The areas inside the red lines are covered by
the front airbags when deployed (deployment
zone). You must never leave or attach any ob-
jects in these areas → . Any factory-fitted
accessories will not be struck if the driver and
front passenger front airbags are deployed.
DANGER
Once triggered, the airbag inflates in frac-
tions of a second at very high speed.
·
Always leave the deployment zones of
the front airbags clear.
·
Never attach any objects, such as drink
or telephone holders, to the covers of
the airbags or anywhere in the airbag
deployment zone.
·
There must be no other people, animals
or objects between the occupants of the
front seats and the airbag deployment
zones. Ensure that children and adults
keep to this rule.
·
Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile
navigation devices, to the windscreen
above the front airbag on the front pas-
senger side.
·
Do not stick things to, cover or other-
wise alter the airbag unit in the steering
wheel and the surface of the dash panel
in the deployment zone of the front pas-
senger's airbag.
WARNING
The front airbags are deployed in front of
the steering wheel → Fig. 33 and dash pan-
el → Fig. 34 .
