Safety
WARNING
Vehicle occupants sitting in the front of the
vehicl
e must never carry any objects in the
deployment space between them and the air-
bags, as this increases the risk of sustaining
injuries if the airbag is triggered. This modi-
fies the airbag deployment space or the ob-
jects may fly uncontrollably and hit your
body.
Never carry objects in your hand or on your
lap while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport objects on the front pas-
senger seat. In the event of sudden braking
and manoeuvres, the objects may end up in
the airbag deployment space and fly uncon-
trollably around the vehicle interior if the air-
bag is activated.
Vehicle occupants of the front and outer
rear seats must never carry any other people,
pets or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags. Make sure chil-
dren and other passengers also respect this
recommendation.
WARNING
The airbag system provides protection for
one accident
only. If they have been de-
ployed, they must be replaced.
Ensure deployed airbags and the system
components involved are immediately re-
placed with new, SEAT-approved components
for the vehicle.
Have any
repairs or modifications carried
out at a specialised workshop. Specialised
workshops have the necessary tools, diag-
nostics equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Never fit recycled or reused airbag compo-
nents in your vehicle.
Never modify the airbag system compo-
nents.
WARNING
If the airbags are triggered, a fine dust is pro-
duc
ed. Thi
s is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
This fine dust may irritate the skin and eyes
and cause breathing difficulties, particularly
in people suffering from or who have suffered
from asthma or other illnesses of the respira-
tory tract. To reduce breathing difficulties,
get out of the vehicle and open and doors and
windows to breath in fresh air.
Should you touch the dust, wash your
hands and face using a mild soap and water
before you eat.
Prevent the dust from affecting the eyes or
open wounds.
Rinse your eyes with water if you have dust
in them.
WARNING
Solvents cause the surfaces of the airbag
module
s to become porous. If an airbag is ac-
cidentally triggered, the detachment of plas-
tic par
ts could cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel and the surfa-
ces of the airbag modules with cleaners con-
taining solvents.
