Protective action

Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐

tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end

collisions.

Information on how to ensure the optimal

protective effect of the airbags

▷ Keep at a distance from the airbags.

▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the

steering wheel rim, holding your hands at

the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to

keep the danger of injury to your hands or

arms as low as possible if the airbag is trig‐

gered.

▷ There should be no people, animals, or ob‐

jects between an airbag and a person.

▷ Do not use the cover of the front airbag on

the front passenger side as a storage area.

▷ Keep the dashboard and window on the

front passenger side clear, i.e., do not

cover with adhesive labels or coverings,

and do not attach holders such as for navi‐

gation instruments and mobile phones.

▷ Make sure that the front passenger is sit‐

ting correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and

legs in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries

can occur if the front airbag is triggered.

▷ Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or

other objects on the front passenger seat

that are not approved specifically for seats

with integrated side airbags.

▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as

jackets, over the backrests.

▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads

away from the side airbag and do not rest

against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries

can occur if the airbags are triggered.

▷ Do not remove the airbag restraint system.

▷ Do not remove the steering wheel.

▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐

bag cover panels, cover them or modify

them in any way.

▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐

nents or the wiring in the airbag system.

This also applies to steering wheel covers,

the dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars

and the sides of the headliner.◀

Even when all instructions are followed closely,

injury from contact with the airbags cannot be

ruled out in certain situations.

The ignition and inflation noise may lead to

short-term and, in most cases, temporary

hearing impairment in sensitive individuals.

In the case of a malfunction, deactivation

and after triggering of the airbags

Do not touch the individual components imme‐

diately after the system has been triggered;

otherwise, there is the danger of burns.

Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐

mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by

the service center or a workshop that has the

necessary authorization for handling explo‐

sives.

Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐

tem could lead to failure in an emergency or

undesired triggering of the airbag, either of

which could result in injury.◀

Warnings and information on the airbags are

also found on the sun visors.

Functional readiness of the airbag

system

When the ignition is switched on, the

warning lamp in the instrument cluster

lights up briefly and thereby indicates

the operational readiness of the entire airbag

system and the belt tensioner.

Airbag system malfunctioning

▷ Warning lamp does not come on when the

ignition is turned on.

▷ The warning lamp lights up continuously.
