Side Airbags
Depending on vehicle, these airbags
may be fitted at the sides of the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Depending on the vehicle,
a marking on the wind-
screen informs you of the
presence of additional means of
restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compart-
ment.
Warnings concerning
the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers :
seats equipped with an airbag re-
quire covers specifically designed
for your vehicle. Contact an au-
thorised dealer to find out if these
covers are available. The use of
any covers other than those de-
signed for your vehicle (including
those designed for another vehi-
cle) may affect the operation of
the airbags and reduce your pro-
tection.
– In the front, do not place any
accessories, objects or even pets
between the seatback, the door
and the internal fittings. Do not
cover the seatback with objects
such as clothes or accessories.
This may prevent the airbag from
operating correctly or cause injury
when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification what-
soever may be carried out on the
seat or internal fittings, except by
qualified personnel from an ap-
proved dealer.
