Airbag system
WARNING
Incorrect handling of the driver's and front
passenger seat could pre
vent the side air-
bag from deploying properly and cause
severe injuries.
●
Never remove the front seats of the vehi-
cle or modify any of their components.
●
Great forces must not be exerted on the
seat backrest bolsters because the side
airbags might not deploy correctly, might
not deploy at all or might deploy unexpect-
edly.
●
Any damage to the original seat uphols-
tery or around the seams of the side airbag
units must be repaired immediately by a
specialised workshop.
