R
make sure that there are no people, ani-
mals or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants and the area of deployment of the
airbag.
R
do not place any objects between the seat
backrest and the door.
R
do not hang any hard objects, for example,
coat hangers, on the grab handles or coat
hooks.
R
do not attach accessories, e.g. cup holders,
to the doors.
It is not possible to rule out a risk of injuries
caused by an airbag due to the high speed at
which the airbag is required to deploy.
G
Risk of injury
The airbag's functionality can only be guaran-
teed if the following parts are not covered and
no badges or stickers are attached to them:
R
padded steering wheel boss
R
knee airbag cover below the steering col-
umn
R
front-passenger front airbag cover
R
outer side of front seats
R
side panel next to the rear seat backrest
G
Risk of injury
When an airbag deploys, a small amount of
powder is released. The powder may cause
short-term breathing difficulties to persons
suffering from asthma or other pulmonary
conditions.
In order to prevent potential breathing diffi-
culties, you should leave the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. You can also open the
window to allow fresh air to enter the interior.
The powder generally does not constitute a
health hazard and does not indicate that there
is a fire in the vehicle.
G
Risk of injury
The airbag parts are hot after the airbag has
been deployed. Do not touch them; other-
wise, you may burn yourself.
Have the airbags checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Otherwise, occupants are
not protected by the airbags in the event of
another accident.
Front airbags
The front airbags are designed to increase
protection for the driver's and front passeng-
er's head and chest.
Driver's front airbag
:
deploys in front of the
steering wheel; front-passenger front air-
bag
;
deploys in front of and above the glove
compartment. They are deployed:
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
R
if the system determines that airbag
deployment can offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
R
if the seat belt is fastened
R
independently of other airbags in the vehi-
cle
R
if the vehicle overturns, but only if the sys-
tem detects high vehicle deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
On vehicles with automatic child seat recog-
nition in the front-passenger seat*, front-
