WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front passenger seat could hinder the proper function of the side airbag and cause
serious injury.
● Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or alter any components of these seats.
● If too much pressure is applied to the backrest side bolsters, the side airbags may not be triggered correctly, may
not trigger at all, or may trigger unexpectedly.
● Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the side airbag units must be repaired
immediately by a qualified workshop.
Central airbag

centre airbag.
A centre airbag for the driver and the front passenger may be fitted, depending on the vehicle equipment.
The centre airbag is located in the inner backrest cushion on the driver seat.
The location of the centre airbag is indicated by the word AIRBAG→ Fig. 1.
The area in the red frame is covered by the central airbag when triggered(deployment zone) → Fig. 1. For this reason,
you must never leave or attach any items in this area →
.
The central airbag is triggered in the event of a side collision and vehicle rollover and thus reduces the risk of injury to
the vehicle occupants.
WARNING
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at very high speed in a fraction of a second.
● Always leave the deployment zones of the central airbag clear.
● Never secure any items on the cover or in the deployment zone of the central airbag.
● There must be no other people, animals or objects between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag
deployment zones. Ensure that children and passengers keep to this rule.
● Do not fit seat covers or protective covers over the seats unless they have been expressly approved for use in the
vehicle. Otherwise the central airbag may not be able to inflate once triggered.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front passenger seat could hinder the proper function of the central airbag and cause
serious injury.
● Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or alter any components of these seats.
