Airbag system
In the event of a side-on collision, the side
airbag will deploy in the side of the vehicle
affected ››› Fig. 15
, thus reducing the risk of
injurie
s
to passengers on the side of the
body and the head facing the accident side.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
●
Always keep the deployment areas of the
side airbags vacant.
●
The deployment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in any
case be occupied by other passenger, pets
and objects.
●
Do not mount accessories on the doors.
●
Only used protective covers for the seats
that are approved for the vehicle. Otherwise,
the side airbag would be obstructed when de-
ployed.
WARNING
Incorrect handling of the driver's and front
passenger seat could prevent the side airbag
from deploying properly and cause severe in-
juries.
●
Never remove the front seats of the vehicle
or modify any of their components.
●
Great forces must not be exerted on the
seat backrest bolsters because the side air-
bags might not deploy correctly, might not
deploy at all or might deploy unexpectedly.
●
Any damage to the original seat upholstery
or around the seams of the side airbag units
must be repaired immediately by a special-
ised workshop.

remain disabled.
Several warning and control lamps light up
for a few seconds when the ignition is switch-
ed on, signalling that the function is being
verified. They will switch off after a few sec-
onds.
If the front passenger airbag is deactivated,
the lamp
does not re-
m
ain lit
, or if it is lit together with the control
lamp on the dash panel, there may be a
fault in the airbag system
›››
.
WARNING
In the event of a fault in the airbag system,
the airbag may not trigger correctly, may fail
to trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly,
leading to severe or fatal injuries.
●
Have the airbag system checked immedi-
ately by a specialised workshop.
●
Never mount a child seat in the front pas-
senger seat or remove the mounted child
seat! The front passenger front airbag may
deploy during an accident in spite of the
fault.
