Safety
●
Do not mount a child seat in the front pas-
senger seat or r
emove the mounted child
seat! The front passenger front airbag may
deploy during an accident in spite of the
fault.
NOTICE

o the corresponding descriptions and
instructions to avoid damage to the vehicle
or harm to the occupants.
Front airbags

er’s airbag in the steering wheel.

ont passenger airbag located in dash
panel.
The driver's front airbag is housed in the steer-
ing wheel and that of the fr
ont passenger, on
the dash panel. Airbags are identified by the
word “AIRBAG”.
The airbag covers open and remain attached
to the steering wheel and instrument panel
when the driver and front passenger air-
bags are triggered, respectively ›››Fig.30 ,
›››Fig.31.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants addi-
tional protection for the head and chest in the
event of a severe frontal collision ›››
.
In addition, in cert
ain head-on collisions, the
head airbag is triggered on both sides of the
vehicle.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occupant
puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are protected by the airbag. After the
collision, the airbag deflates suciently to al-
low visibility.
WARNING
●
The deployment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in any
case be occupied by other passenger
, pets
and objects.
●
The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; replace them once they have de-
ployed.
●
It is also important not to attach any
objects such as cup holders or telephone
mountings to the surfaces covering the air-
bag units.
