The essentials
Fig. 19 Location and deployment area of the
fr
ont
airb
ag for the passenger.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airb
ag sy
s
tem gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remain as far away as possible
from the front airbag ›››
page 48. This
way, in the event of an accident, the front air-
bags can deploy fully when triggered, provid-
ing maximum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in
the steering wheel ››› Fig. 18 and the airbag
for the front passenger is located in the dash
panel ››› Fig. 19. Airbags are identified by the
word “AIRBAG”.
When the front airbags are triggered they fill
the zones marked in red ››› Fig. 18 and
››› Fig. 19 (radius of action). Therefore, ob-
jects should never be placed or mounted in
these areas ›››

side the range of the front airbag for the driv-
er and the front passenger, e.g. the base-
plate for the mobile phone support.
The airbag covers fold out of the steering
wheel ››› Fig. 18 and the dash panel
››› Fig. 19 when the driver and front passen-
ger airbags, respectively, are triggered.
