● Leave the deployment zone of the centre airbag clear.
● Never secure any items to the cover or in the deployment zone of the centre 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 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 central airbag and cause
serious injury.
● Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or modify any part of them.
● If too much pressure is applied to the backrest side bolsters, the central airbag may not be triggered correctly,
may not trigger at all, or may trigger accidentally.
● Have any damage to the original seat covers or around the seams of the centre airbags repaired immediately by a
qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Fig. 1 On the left-hand side of the vehicle: Location and deployment zone of the curtain airbag.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, curtain airbags are fitted on the driver side and possibly on the front passenger
side.
The curtain airbags are located inside the vehicle above the doors. The airbag location is identified by the text
“AIRBAG”.
The area in the red frame is covered by the curtain airbag when triggered(deployment zone). For this reason, you
must never leave or attach any items in this area →
.
In a side collision the curtain airbag is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle.
In a side collision, the curtain airbags reduce the risk of injury to the areas of the body facing the impact for vehicle
occupants on the front seats and outer rear seats.
WARNING
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at very high speed in a fraction of a second.
● Always leave the deployment zones of the curtain airbags clear.
● Never secure any items to the cover or in the deployment zone of the curtain airbag.
● Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets or objects in
the deployment zone between themselves and the airbags. Ensure that children and passengers keep to this rule.
● The coat hooks in the vehicle should be used only for lightweight clothing. Never leave any heavy or sharp objects
in the pockets.
