Safety
The head-protection airbags reduce the risk of
injury to passengers in the front and rear side
seats facing the impact.
WARNING
●
In order for the head-protection airbags to
provide their maximum protection, the pre-
scribed sitting position must always be main-
tained with seat belts fastened while travel-
ling.
●
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must
be disabled in those vehicles tted with a
screen dividing the interior of the vehicle.
See your technical service to make this ad-
justment.
●
There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the occupants of the
outer seats and the deployment space of the
head-protection airbags so that the head-
protection airbag can deploy completely
without restriction and provide the greatest
possible protection. Therefore, sun blinds
which have not been expressly approved for
use in your vehicle may not be attached to
the side windows.
●
Ensure that children are correctly seated
in their seats and that their heads are not
in the deployment zone of the head airbags
›››Fig.33, as deploying airbags could hit
them and cause serious injury.
●
The built-in coat hooks should be used
only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on
coat hangers.
●
The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; replace them once they have de-
ployed.
●
Any work on the head-protection airbag
system or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
removal of the roof lining) should only be
performed by a specialised workshop. Other-
wise, faults may occur during the airbag sys-
tem operation.
●
The side and head airbags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation
of the side and curtain airbags neither the
doors nor the door panels should be modi-
ed in any way (e.g. tting loudspeakers). If
the front door is damaged, the airbag system
may not work correctly. All work carried out
on the front door must be done in a special-
ised workshop.
