Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the
following:
R
Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant
women must take particular care to ensure
that the lap belt never lies across the
abdomen.
R
Adopt the correct seat position and keep
as far away as possible from the airbags.
R
Observe the following information.
#
Always make sure that there are no
objects between the airbag and vehicle
occupant.
To avoid the risks resulting from the deployment
of an airbag, each vehicle occupant must observe
the following information in particular:
R
Before starting your journey, adjust your seat
correctly; the driver's seat and front
passenger seat should be moved as far back
as possible.
When doing so, always observe the informa-
tion on the correct driver's seat position
(
/
page 119).
Vehicles with rear airbag: always observe the
information on the rear airbag when the rear
seat is occupied (
/
page 62). The vehicle
occupants should sit as far back from the air-
bags as possible and keep an equal distance
to them.
R
Only hold the steering wheel by the steering
wheel rim. This allows the airbag to be fully
deployed.
R
Always lean against the seat backrest when
the vehicle is in motion. Do not lean forwards
or against the door or side window. You may
otherwise be in the deployment area of the
airbags.
R
The occupants must always keep their feet on
the floor. Do not put your feet on the cockpit,
for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the
deployment area of the airbag.
Vehicles with rear airbag: always observe the
information on the rear airbag when the rear
seat is occupied (
/
page 62).
R
If children are travelling in the vehicle, observe
the additional notes (
/
page 67).
R
Always stow and secure objects correctly.
Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent an air-
bag from functioning correctly. Each vehicle occu-
pant must always make sure of the following in
particular:
R
There are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an airbag.
Vehicles with rear airbag: also observe the
information on the rear airbag (
/
page 62).
R
There are no objects between the seat, door
and door pillar (B-pillar).
R
There are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers,
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
R
There are no accessories, such as mobile navi-
gation devices, mobile phones or cup holders,
within the deployment area of an airbag, e.g.
on the cockpit, on the door, on the side win-
dow or on the side trim.
In addition, no connecting cables, tensioning
straps or retaining straps must be routed or
attached to the vehicle within the deployment
area of an airbag. Always comply with the
accessory manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions and, in particular, the notes on suitable
places for installation.
