Introduction
The side airbags are located in the outer seat backrest cushions of the driver seat and front passenger seat
→ Fig. 63
B. The locations of the
airbags are shown by labels with the word AIRBAG.
The areas outlined in red
→ Fig. 63
are inside the deployment area of the side airbags. You must never leave or attach any objects in these
areas

.
During a side collision, the side airbags will be deployed on the side of the vehicle which is impacted, thus reducing the risk of injury to the areas
of the occupants' bodies facing the impact.
The front passenger front airbag should only be switched off in exceptional circumstances.
To prevent damage to the airbag system, only switch the front passenger front airbag on and off when the ignition is switched off.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
Only switch the front passenger front airbag off if, in exceptional circumstances, a child seat has to be attached to the front passenger seat.
Switch the front passenger front airbag back on again as soon as the child seat on the front passenger seat is no longer being used.
WARNING
If the key bit is not inserted far enough, the key switch could be damaged when the key is turned.
NOTICE
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch, as this could result in damage to the stowage compartment, key switch or vehicle key when the
stowage compartment is closed.
