Location of the front passenger airbag in a right-
hand drive car.
The warning label for the passenger airbag is
fitted in one of the following two locations in
the car:
Alternative 1: Position of airbag label on passen-
ger side sun visor.
Alternative 2: Position of airbag label on passen-
ger side door pillar. The label becomes visible
when the passenger door is opened.
WARNING
Never use a rear-facing child seat on a
seat protected by an activated airbag. Fail-
ure to follow this advice can lead to death
or serious injury to the child.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by
the airbag in the event of a collision.
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts
must be secured.
WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the
dashboard where the passenger airbag is
located.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag is activated.
Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever
sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag
is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger life.
Switch - PACOS*
The front passenger airbag can be deacti-
vated (p. 33) if the car is equipped with a
switch, PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off
Switch).
WARNING
If the car is equipped with a front passen-
ger airbag, but does not have a PACOS
switch (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch),
then the airbag will always be activated.
