Head airbag
In the event of a side collision, the head airbag
protects the head.
Ejection Mitigation
The head airbag system is designed as an
ejection mitigation countermeasure to reduce
the likelihood of ejections of vehicle occupants
through side windows during rollovers or side
collision events.
Knee airbag
Depending on the national-market version:
The knee airbag protects the legs in the event
of a frontal impact.
Protective effect
General information
Airbags are not deployed in every impact sit-
uation, e.g., in less severe accidents.
Information on optimum protective
effect of the airbags
Warning
If the seat position is incorrect or the deploy-
ment area of the airbags is impaired, the
airbag system cannot provide protection as
intended and may cause additional injuries
due to deployment. There is a risk of injury
or danger to life. Follow the information on
achieving the optimum protective effect of the
airbag system.
▷ Keep a distance from the airbags.
▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim. Hold your hands at the
3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to keep the
risk of injury to your hands or arms as low
as possible when the airbag is deployed.
▷ Adjust seat and steering wheel so that
hands can be crossed over the steering
wheel. Select the settings so that the
shoulder rests against the backrest when
crossing the hands and the upper body
is as far back as possible while still main-
taining a comfortable grip on the steering
wheel.
▷ Make sure that the front passenger is sit-
ting correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and
legs in the footwell and does not support
them on the dashboard.
▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads
away from the side airbag.
▷ There should be no additional persons, an-
imals or objects between an airbag and a
person.
▷ Dashboard and windshield on the pas-
senger's side must stay clear - do not at-
tach adhesive film or coverings and do not
attach brackets or cables, for instance for
navigation devices or mobile phones.
▷ Do not bond the airbag cover panels with
adhesive, do not cover them or modify
them in any way.
▷ Do not use the cover of the front airbag on
the passenger's side as a storage area.
▷ Do not attach slip covers, seat cushions or
other objects to the front seats that are not
specifically suited for seats with integrated
airbag versions.
▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as
jackets, over the backrests.
▷ Never modify either the individual compo-
nents or the wiring in the airbag system.
This also applies to steering wheel covers,
the dashboard, and the seats.
▷ Do not disassemble the airbag system.
Even when you follow all instructions very
closely, injury from contact with the airbags
cannot be fully ruled out in certain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead
to short-term and, in most cases, temporary
hearing impairment in sensitive occupants.
