IMPORTANT
• Airbags cannot protect lower body
parts of passengers.
• Airbags are not designed for rear
collision, minor frontal or side
impacts, or if the vehicle overturns;
nor will it operate as a result of heavy
braking.
• Deployment and retraction of the
frontal and side airbags takes place
very quickly and will not protect
against the effects of secondary
impacts that may occur.
• When an airbag inflates, a fine powder
is released. This is not an indication of
a malfunction, however, the powder
may cause irritation to the skin and
should be thoroughly flushed from
the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of
the skin.
• After inflation, front and side airbags
deflate immediately. This provides
a gradual cushioning effect for the
occupant and also ensures that
the driver’s forward vision is not
obscured.
Front Airbags
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by
an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur. Refer to
‘DisablingthePassengerAirbag’.
 Front seat passengers should not
placefeet,kneesoranyotherpart
of the body in contact with, or in
closeproximitytoafrontairbag.
In extreme cases driving on very
uneven surfaces may cause airbag
deployment.Pleasetakeextracare
when driving on uneven roads.
Airbags are designed to deploy during serious
impacts, the following conditions may cause
airbag deployment.
• A frontal collision with unmovable or non
deformable solid objects at a high speed.
• Conditions that can cause serious
chassis damage, such as a collision with
kerbstones, road edges, deep ravines or
holes.
Seat Side Airbags
The manufacture and material
of the seat is critical to the
correct operation of side airbags.
Therefore,pleaseDONOTtseat
covers which may affect side airbag
deployment.
In the event of a serious side impact, the
relevant side airbag will deploy (only the
affected side).
• The airbag will be deployed in the event
that the side of the vehicle is impacted
with a solid object or another vehicle.
Side Head Impact Protection Airbags
In the event of a serious side impact, the
relevant side curtain airbag will deploy (only
the affected side).
• The side curtain airbag will be deployed
in the event that the side of the vehicle is
impacted with a solid object or another
vehicle.
