Objects in the vehicle interior may pre-
vent the airbag from functioning cor-
rectly. Before starting your journey and to
avoid risks resulting from the speed of the
airbag as it deploys, make sure that:
R
there are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an air-
bag.
R
there are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar.
R
no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on
the grab handles or coat hooks.
R
no accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deploy-
ment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, side
windows, rear side trim or side walls.
R
no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects
are in the pockets of your clothing. Store
such objects in a suitable place.
G WARNING
If you modify an airbag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the airbag can no longer
function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an airbag cover or affix objects
to it.
G WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Modifications or work not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the
function of the sensors being impaired. The
airbags might therefore not function properly
any more. Consequently, the airbags cannot
protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do. This poses an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
elling carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Front airbags
!
Do not place heavy objects on the front-
passenger seat. This could cause the sys-
tem to identify the seat as being occupied.
In the event of an accident, the restraint
systems on the front-passenger side may
be triggered and have to be replaced.
Driver's airbag : deploys in front of the
steering wheel; front-passenger front air-
bag ; deploys in front of and above the glove
compartment.
When deployed on the front seats, the front
airbags offer additional protection for the
head and thorax.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps
inform you about the status of the front-
passenger front airbag (

page 46).
Front-passenger front airbag ; will only
deploy if:
R
the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system has detected that the
front-passenger seat is occupied
(

ON indicator lamp lights up (

R
the restraint system predicts a high
