During a side collision, the side airbags will
be deployed on the side of the vehicle
which is impa
cted, thus reducing the risk of
injury to the areas of the occupants’ bodies
facing the impact.
WARNING
Once triggered, the airbag infla
tes at very
high speed in a fraction of a second.
·
Always leave the deployment zones of
the side airbags clear.
·
No other people, animals or objects
may be carried between the occupants
of the front seats and the airbag de-
ployment zone. Ensure that children
and passengers keep to this rule.
·
The coat hooks in the vehicle should be
used only for lightweight clothing. Nev-
er leave any heavy or sharp objects in
the pockets.
·
Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
·
Do not fit seat covers or protective cov-
ers over the seats unless they have
been expressly approved for use in the
vehicle. Otherwise the side airbag may
not be able to inflate once triggered.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front pas-
senger seat could hinder the proper func-
tion of the side airbag and cause serious
injury.
·
Never remove the front seats from the
vehicle or modify any part of them.
·
If too much pressure is applied to the
backrest side bolsters, the side airbags
may not be triggered correctly, may not
trigger at all, or may trigger unexpect-
edly.
·
Have any damage to the original seat
covers or around the seams of the side
airbag units repaired immediately by
a suitably qualified workshop.
