Safety from electronics
For your safety your vehicle is fitted with
sophisticated electronic controls.
By operating other electronic
equipment (e.g. mobile
telephone without exterior
aerial) electromagnetic fields can occur
which can cause malfunctions of the
vehicle electronics. You should therefore
observe the instructions of the equipment
manufacturers and comply with
applicable local regulations.
Fuel injection system shut-off
switch (vehicles with a petrol
engine) In the event of an
accident the safety switch will
automatically cut off the fuel supply to
the engine. The switch can also be
activated through sudden vibration
(e.g. collision when parking). To reset
the switch, see instructions on page 152.
Protection features for safer
driving
The risk of injury from traffic accidents
can never be completely eliminated, but
it can be reduced with the aid of modern
technology. For example, in addition to
front and rear crash absorbing zones;
your vehicle also has lateral impact
protection areas in the side doors, side
air bags in the front seats to provide
additional protection in the event of a
side collision.
The safety restraint system with
single-stage air bag(s) offers protection
in the event of a frontal collision. The
safety seats should prevent you sliding
under the belts. These features are
designed to help reduce the risk of injury.
Remember these safety features may
never be needed if you always stay alert
and drive cautiously.
Please read the section
Air
bag.
Misuse of the air
bag can result in injuries.
Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a child restraint on a seat
protected by an
operational air bag in front of it!
There is a risk of death or serious
injury when the air bag deploys. The
safest place for children is properly
restrained in the rear seats.
