Safety
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory; this could cause injuries during
their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be carried out by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms cannot
be ruled out when an airbag is deployed.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a
few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on
the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, as this
could cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, contact a dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
At the rear, any objects placed on the
outer seats or the folded backrest of the
1/3
bench seat could become projectiles
when the lateral airbags are deployed.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors – risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
