Safety
When triggered, the central airbag lls the
marked zone (deployment zone) ›››Fig.30.
For this reason, never place or x objects in
this zone ››› .
The central airbag triggers in the case of a side
collision or if the vehicle overturns, reducing
the risk of vehicle occupants suering injuries.
WARNING
When triggered, the airbag inates at high
speed in milliseconds.
●
Always keep the central airbag deployment
zone clear.

Never attach objects to the central airbag
cover or the deployment zone.

Do not allow other people, animals or ob-
jects to get between the occupants of the
front seats and the airbag deployment zone.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants, includ-
ing children, follow this rule.
●
Never use upholstery or seat covers that
have not been explicitly authorised for the
seats of the vehicle. Otherwise, the side air-
bag will not be able to deploy if triggered.
WARNING
Improper manipulation of the driver and
front passenger seats can prevent the central
airbag from operating correctly and cause
serious injuries.
●

hicle or modify their components.
●
If the backrest side bolsters are subjected
to a lot of force, the central airbag may not
trigger correctly,it may not trigger at all or if
may trigger unexpectedly.

Side airbags
Fig.31 Driver's seat and passenger seat
side airbags.
Fig.32 Illustration of completely inated
side airbags on the left side of the vehicle.
The side airbags are located in the backrests
of the front seats and in the sides of the rear
seat, depending on the vehicle's conguration
›››Fig.31, ›››Fig.32.
Its location is marked with the word “AIRBAG”
on the upper part of the back of the seats or
on the lower coverings with the word AIRBAG
in relief.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air-
bag 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 protec-
tion.
