Introduction
The combined curtain and side airbags are located in the outer seat backrest cushions
→ Fig. 64
B of the driver seat and front passenger seat.
The locations of the airbags are shown by labels with the word AIRBAG.
The areas outlined in red
→ Fig. 64
are inside the deployment area of the combined head/side airbags. You must never leave or attach any
objects in these areas
→
.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
Always leave the deployment zones of the side airbags clear.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag deployment zone. Make sure
that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
The built-in coat hooks should only be used for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp objects in the pockets.
Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
Do not fit seat covers or protective covers over the seats unless they have been expressly approved for use in the vehicle. Otherwise the
side airbag may not be able to inflate once triggered.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front passenger seat could hinder the proper function of the side airbag and cause serious injury.
Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or alter any components of these seats.
If too much pressure is applied to the backrest side bolster, the side airbags may not be triggered correctly, may not trigger at all, or may
trigger unexpectedly.
Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a qualified
workshop.
