SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side Airbags
This airbag is fitted to the front seats,
activated at the sides of the seats (door
side) to protect the occupants in the
event of a severe side impact.
Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to find
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with objects such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or
cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
– The space between the seatback of the rear bench seat and the trim is the
area of airbag operation: no objects must be placed here.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark-
ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (airbags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.
