WARNING
●
The knee airbag is deployed in front of
the driver's knees. Always keep the deploy-
ment areas of the knee airbags free.
●
Never not fix objects to the cover or in
the deployment area of the knee airbag.
●
Adjust the driver's seat so that there is a
distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) be-
tween your knees and the location of the
this airbag. If your physical constitution
prevents you from meeting these require-
ments, make sure you contact a specialised
workshop.

BAG” in the upper region of the backrests.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airbag system provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision
›››
.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal protection, the seat belts also
hold the passengers in the event of a side
collision; this is how these airbags provide
maximum protection.
