Fig. 2 Location and deployment zone of the front passenger front airbag.  
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front airbag system gives the front occupants additional  
protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision. Always keep as far  
away from the front airbag as possible (→ Sitting position, Description). This allows the front  
airbags to inflate fully when triggered, thus providing maximum protection.  
The front airbag for the driver is located in the steering wheel Fig. 1 and the front airbag for  
the front passenger is located in the dash panel Fig. 2 . The airbag locations are identified by  
the text “AIRBAG.  
The areas inside the red lines are covered by the front airbags when deployed (deployment zone).  
You must never leave or attach any objects in these areas . Any factory-fitted accessories  
will not be struck if the driver and front passenger front airbags are deployed.  
DANGER  
Once triggered, the airbag inflates in fractions of a second at very high speed.  
Always leave the deployment zones of the front airbags clear.  
Never attach any objects, such as drink or telephone holders, to the covers of the airbags or  
anywhere in the airbag deployment zone.  
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 attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the front  
airbag on the front passenger side.  
Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the  
airbag unit in the dash panel on the front passenger side, and do not modify them in any  
way.  
WARNING  
The front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel Fig. 1 and dash panel Fig. 2 .  
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the ring at  
the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.  
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub  
of the steering wheel. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes this  
impracticable.  
Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the passenger and the dash  
panel is as large as possible.
