Front airbags - Precautions

• The wearing of seat belts is obligatory.

• Never fix nor attach anything to the steering wheel boss; this could cause facial injuries should the airbag be activated.

• Do not stow nor allow objects to rest between your body and the airbag.

• Never drive with your hands on the centre boss of the steering wheel or holding the branches of the wheel.

• Do not smoke in the vehicle (risk of burns or injury should the airbag be deployed).

• Do not leave objects on the dashboard which could interfere with the operation of the airbag or cause injury to the

passenger when activated.

• Make sure that the passenger does not place his feet on the dashboard when the vehicle is in motion.

• Children under ten years of age should use the rear seats with appropriate child restraints (see "Child restraints").

IMPORTANT:

For your safety, it is essential that you always sit with your back

fully against the backrest.

Warning

When the airbag(s) is(are) deployed, there is a light discharge of harmless smoke and a loud noise; both are due to the

detonation of the explosive cartridge(s) forming part of the airbag system.

This smoke is not toxic but may cause irritation to people suffering from respiratory problems.

As a precaution therefore, vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after deployment of an airbag (provided it is safe to do

so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors.

The noise associated with the detonation may cause a temporary loss of hearing.

These devices can only operate once and cannot provide further protection in the event of a second impact (either during

the same collision or in any further collision).

It is imperative that the system be repaired by the dealer network.

Replacing the airbag pyrotechnic systems

They must be replaced following deployment or within ten years after first

registration of the vehicle. This must be done by the dealer network.

In accordance with the strict security regulations in force, any repairs or

checks must be performed exclusively by the dealer network.

Any repairs that have not been carried out in strict compliance with the

regulations could prevent the systems from operating correctly or could

cause their premature deployment, with the risk of bodily injuries.
