Passenger's front air bag
ꢀ Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
ꢀ No objects (such as crash pad
cover, mobile phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel,
windscreen glass, and the front
passenger’s panel above the
glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Sup-
plemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating posi-
tions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger’s side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labelled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
ꢀ Do not attach any objects on
front windscreen and inside mir-
ror.
ꢀ Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle’s driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.
