When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
F
(with passenger’s front air
bag deactivation switch at ON) turns
on and flashes for few seconds to re-
mind that the passenger’s air bag will
be deployed in a crash, after which
it should go off.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
À
(with the rear side bag de-
activation switch at ON) turns on and
flashes for few seconds to remind that
the rear side bags will be deployed in
a crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
Do not wash the seat back
rest with pressurised water
or steam (by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front air bag is triggered
for shocks greater in magni-
tude than the pretensioners. For im-
pacts between these two thresholds,
it is therefore normal that only the
pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
the coat hooks and to the
support handles.
WARNING
The air bag does not substi-
tute the seat belts, but only
increases their effectiveness. More-
over, since the front air bags do not
come into operation in the event of
front impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or over-
turning, in these circumstances the
occupants would only be protected
by the seat belts which must therefore
always be fastened.
