Side airbags

Fig. 1 On the side of the front seat: Location of the side

airbag.

Fig. 2 On the left-hand side of the vehicle: side airbag

deployment zone.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, side airbags are fitted for the driver and the front passenger.

The side airbags are located in the outer seat backrest cushions of the driver seat and, in some vehicles, the front

passenger seat → Fig. 1.

The locations of the airbags are identified by labels with the lettering “AIRBAG”.

The area in the red frame is covered by the side airbag when triggered(deployment zone) → Fig. 2. For this reason,

never leave or attach any items in this area →

During a side collision, the side airbags will be deployed on the side of the vehicle which is impacted, thus reducing

the risk of injury to the areas of the occupants' bodies facing the impact.

WARNING

Once triggered, the airbag inflates at very high speed in a fraction of a second.

● Always leave the deployment zones of the side airbags clear.

● No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag

deployment zone. Ensure that children and passengers keep to this rule.

● The built-in coat hooks should only be used for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp objects in

the pockets.

● Do not fit any accessories to the doors.

● Do not fit seat covers or protective covers over the seats unless they have been expressly approved for use in the

vehicle. Otherwise the side 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 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.

● 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.
