Safety notes on the operation of the side airbag system

If airbags are used correctly, they can considerably reduce the

risk of injury in side impact collisions.

WARNING

•If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean forward, or are not seated

correctly while the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater risk of injury

should the side airbag system be triggered in an accident.

•In order for the side airbags to provide their maximum protection, the

prescribed sitting position must always be maintained with seat belts

fastened while travelling.

•Occupants of the outer seats must never carry any objects or pets in the

deployment space between them and the airbags, or allow children or

other passengers to travel in this position. It is also important not to attach

any accessories (such as cup holders) to the doors. This would impair the

protection offered by the side airbags.

•The built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do

not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.

•Great forces, such as hard blows or kicks, must not be exerted upon the

backrest bolster because the system may be damaged. In this case the side

airbags would not be triggered.

•Under no circumstances should protective covers be fitted over the

driver seat or front passenger seat unless the covers have been expressly

approved for use in your vehicle. Because the airbag deploys from the side

of the backrest, the use of conventional seat covers would obstruct the side

airbag, seriously reducing the airbag's effectiveness.

•Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the

side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a qualified workshop.

•The airbags provide protection for one accident only, if they have been

deployed they must be replaced.

•When children assume an incorrect sitting position, they expose them-

selves to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. This is

particularly the case if the child is travelling on the front passenger seat

and the airbag system is triggered in an accident; this could have critical

consequences including serious injury or death ⇒page 42, “Child safety”.

•Any work on the side airbag system or removal and installation of the

airbag components for other repairs (such as removal of the front seat)

should only be performed by a qualified workshop. Otherwise, a fault may

be introduced into the operation of the airbag system.

•Do not attempt to modify components of the airbag system in any way.

•The side and head airbags are managed through sensors located in the

interior of the front doors. To ensure the correct functioning of the side and

head airbags neither the doors nor the door panels should be modified in

any way (e.g. fitting loudspeakers). If the front door is damaged in any way,

this may affect the correct working of the system. All work carried out on

the front door must be made in a qualified workshop.
