SAFETY FIRST
Supplementing the three-point seat
belts, the Airbag system offers
addi-
tional protection for the driver’s and pas-
senger’s head and chest in a serious
frontal collision.
In serious lateral collisions the side
airbags reduce the risk of injury to the
body parts exposed to the danger for the
front seat occupants.
The Airbag system is not a replacement
for the seat belt, but it is rather one part
of the passive safety concept of the vehi-
cle. Please note that the best possible
protection to be offered by the Airbag sys-
tem can only be effective when the seat
belts are fastened.
Therefore, the seat belts should
always be used, not only for reasons
of statutory regulations, but also for
safety.
Also refer to the instructions from the
"Seat belts" chapter.
The
driver’s airbag
is located in the cen-
tral cushioned part of the steering wheel.
The
passenger’s airbag
is located in the
dash panel above the glove compart-
ment.
Both are marked with "AIRBAG".
Warning
The seat belts and airbag system
only offer maximum protection
when seated correctly.
