Safety instructions
Fig. 22
Safe distance from the steering
wheel and the dashboard
WARNING
General information
■
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer proper protection
if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 18.
■
The airbag develops considerable forces when triggered, which can lead
to serious injuries or even death if the correct seating position or seated
position is not observed. This applies in particular to children who are trans-
ported without using a suitable child safety seat » page 30.
■
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a spe-
cialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident.
■
The airbag system must be replaced if it has been deployed.
■
In the area of the front airbag and the knee airbag, the surface of the
steering wheel and the dashboard should be cleaned using only a dry cloth
or one that has been dampened with water.
WARNING
Information about front airbags
■
For the driver and passenger, it is important to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dashboard » Fig. 22 -
A
. If this dis-
tance is not maintained, the airbag system cannot protect you - hazard! The
front seats and the head restraints must always be correctly adjusted to
match the body size of the occupant.
WARNING (Continued)
■
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger seat » page 27, Airbag deactivation. If
this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal in-
juries if the front passenger airbag is deployed.
■
No other persons, animals or objects may be positioned in front of the oc-
cupants on the front seats in the deployment area of the front air bags.
■
The steering wheel and the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
ger side must not have stickers attached, covered or modified in any other
way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile phone mounts etc.( should be
mounted in the vicinity of the airbag installation locations and in the airbag
deployment area.
■
Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
ger side.
WARNING
Information about knee airbags
■
Adjust the driver's seat in a forward/back direction so that there is a gap
of at least 6 cm between the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the
knee airbag » Fig. 22 -
B
. If it is not possible to meet this requirement due
to your body size, visit a specialist garage.
■
The surface of the airbag module in the lower part of the dash panel be-
low the steering column not have stickers attached, be covered or modi-
fied in any other way. Nothing may be attached to the cover of the airbag
module or located within the immediate vicinity.
■
Do not attach any bulky and heavy objects (bunch of keys etc.) to the ig-
nition key. These can be ejected by the knee airbag when it is deployed and
can cause injuries.
WARNING
Information about for side and head airbags

ted in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories
(e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - risk of injury!
