Head airbag
In the event of a side collision, the head air-
bag protects the head.
Ejection Mitigation
The head airbag system is designed as an
ejection mitigation countermeasure to re-
duce 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
Airbags are not deployed in every impact
situation, for instance in less severe acci-
dents or rear-end collisions.
Information on optimum protective
effect of the airbags
Warning
If the seat position is incorrect or the de-
ployment area of the airbags is impaired,
the airbag system cannot provide protec-
tion as intended and may cause additional
injuries due to deployment. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life. Follow the infor-
mation on achieving the optimum protec-
tive 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
maintaining a comfortable grip on the
steering wheel.
– Make sure that the front passenger is
sitting 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,
animals 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 in-
stance 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 side airbags.
– Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as
jackets, over the backrests.
– Never modify either the individual com-
ponents or the wiring in the airbag sys-
tem. 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 situa-
tions.
