Additional methods of restraint
All of the following warnings are intended to ensure that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and
also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be projected when it inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbag and the seat belt are integral
parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not
worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the
risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.

gered. Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, from pavements, potholes, stones etc. can all trigger these systems.
– Any work or modification on any part of the airbag (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.) is strictly pro
hibited (except by qualified personnel from the network).

– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the new purchaser of these conditions when handing over this vehicle user
manual.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
