optional features offered with

the series. It also describes fea-

tures and functions that are not

necessarily available in your

vehicle, e.g., due to the selected

options or country versions. This

also applies to safety-related

functions and systems. When

using these functions and sys-

Front airbags

Knee airbag

Front airbags help protect the

driver and the front passenger

by responding to frontal impacts

in which safety belts alone

would not provide adequate pro-

tection.

The knee airbag protects the

legs in the event of a frontal

impact.

Curtain shield airbag

The curtain shield airbag sup-

ports the head in the event of a

side-on crash.

Side airbag

In the event of a side impact, the

side airbag protects the side of

the body in the chest, lap, and

head area.

WARNING

If the seat position is incorrect or

the deployment area of the air-

bags is impaired, the airbag sys-

tem cannot provide protection as

intended and may cause addi-

tional injuries due to triggering.

There is a risk of injuries or dan-

ger to life. Follow the information

on achieving the optimum protec-

tive effect of the airbag system.

 Do not apply adhesive materi-

als to the airbag cover panels,

do not cover them or modify

them in any way.

 Do not use the cover of the

front airbag on the front pas-

senger side as a storage

area.

 Keep a distance from the air-

 Do not attach slip covers, seat

cushions or other objects to

the front passenger seat that

are not specifically suited for

seats with integrated side air-

bags.

 Always grasp the steering

wheel on the steering wheel

rim. Hold your hands at the 3

o'clock and 9 o'clock posi-

tions, to keep the risk of injury

to your hands or arms as low

as possible when the airbag is

triggered.

 Do not hang pieces of cloth-

ing, such as jackets, over the

backrests.

 Never modify either the indi-

vidual components or the wir-

ing in the airbag system. This

also applies to steering wheel

covers, the dashboard, and

the seats.

 Make sure that the front pas-

senger is sitting correctly, i.e.,

keeps his or her feet and legs

in the floor area and does not

support them on the dash-

Improperly executed work can

an injury, or the loud noise emit-

ted by ignition or deployment

may cause temporary partial

loss of hearing. Also, as an air-

bag and nearby parts will be

extremely hot after the airbag

deploys, touching them may

cause burns. For these reasons,

deployment of the airbags is not

entirely risk free. Therefore, in

order to reduce this risk, the air-

bags are designed to only

be used in place of them, to

increase their effectiveness as

an occupant protection device.

SRS is an acronym for Supplemen-

tal Restraint System

In the event of a collision, the

seat belts restrain the occupants

in their seats, but if the impact of

the collision is especially

severe, there is danger of an

occupant’s head and chest con-

tacting the steering wheel, dash-

board and windshield. In this

case, the SRS front airbags and

impact on the occupants and

restrain them from contacting

the steering wheel, etc. with

their head, chest and knees.

Wear the seatbelt correctly and sit

with the correct posture.

If you sit with your head too close

to the steering wheel, when the

SRS front airbag deploys, it may

apply a very large impact to your

body. Sit in the driver’s seat with

the correct posture and keep an

appropriate distance away from

the steering wheel.

The SRS front air bags and SRS

knee airbags deploy only when

an impact exceeding a certain

threshold is detected. In a colli-

sion, even if the impact is

severe enough to cause the

vehicle body to deform, the SRS

airbags may not deploy if the

impact of the collision is suffi-

ciently dispersed by the crash

structures of the vehicle body. If

the force of the collision does

not cause the airbags to deploy,

the seatbelts will protect the

occupants.

When an airbag deploys, as it

will inflate nearly instantly, it may

WARNING

Do not install or attach anything,

such as a sticker to areas such as

the steering wheel pad and near

the SRS knee airbags. Also, do

not attach any accessories, such

as an air freshener, to the passen-

ger’s side instrument panel or

place anything on the floor in front

of the seat. If anything is attached

to or left in these areas, they may

prevent an airbag from deploying

or become a projectile when the

airbags deploy.

Do not position the passenger’s

seat too close to the dashboard or

rest your feet on the dashboard,

as doing so may lead to a serious

injury if the SRS airbags deploy.

Sit in the passenger’s seat with

the correct posture and keep an

appropriate distance away from

The SRS side airbags and SRS

curtain shield airbags are

designed to deploy and protect

the torso and head of occupants

when a severe impact is applied

to the side of the vehicle.

In the event of a side collision,

the SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain shield airbag on that side

deploys (inflates), instantly cre-

ating an air cushion to help

reduce the impact on the occu-

pants and restrain them from

contacting the door window,

door, etc. with their head and

torso. When an airbag deploys,

as it will inflate nearly instantly, it

may impact an occupant and

cause an injury, or the loud

noise emitted by ignition or

deployment may cause tempo-

rary partial loss of hearing. Also,

as an airbag and nearby parts

will be extremely hot after the

airbag deploys, touching them

may cause burns. For these rea-

sons, deployment of the airbags

is not entirely risk free. There-

fore, in order to reduce this risk,
