Airbag system 35

Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

In conjunction with the seat belts, the front airbag system gives the front

occupants additional protection for the head and chest in the event of a

severe frontal collision. Always remains as far away as possible from the front

airbag. This way, the front airbags can completely deploy when triggered,

providing their maximum protection.

The front airbag for the driver is located in the steering wheel  page 34,

fig. 17 and the airbag for the front passenger is located in the dash panel

 fig. 18. Airbags are identified by the word “AIRBAG”.

When the front airbags are triggered they fill the zones marked in red (deploy-

ment area)  page 34, fig. 17. Therefore, objects should never be placed or

mounted in these areas  , Factory-fitted accessories are outside the

range of the front airbag for the driver and the front passenger, e.g. the base-

plate for the mobile phone support.

The airbag covers fold out of the steering wheel or dash panel when the driver

and front passenger airbags are triggered  fig. 18. The airbag covers

remain connected to the steering wheel or the dash panel.

WARNING

The airbag is deployed at high speed in fractions of a second.

x Always keep the deployment areas of the front airbags free.

x Never secure objects to the covers or in the deployment area of the

airbag modules, e.g. cup holders or phone supports.

x The deployment space between the front passengers and the airbags

must not in any case be occupied by other passenger, pets and objects.

x Never fix any object to the windscreen above the front airbag on the

front passenger side.

x Do not alter, cover or stick anything to the steering wheel hub or the

surface of the airbag module on the passenger side of the dash panel.

WARNING

Front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel  page 34, fig. 17

and the dash panel  fig. 18.
