WARNING
●
In order for the head-protection airbags
to provide their maximum protection, the pre-
scribed sitting position must always be main-
tained with seat belts fastened while travel-
ling.
●
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must
be disabled in those vehicles fitted with a
screen dividing the interior of the vehicle.
See your technical service to make this ad-
justment.
●
There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the occupants of the
outer seats and the deployment space of the
head-protection airbags so that the head-
protection airbag can deploy completely
without restriction and provide the greatest
possible protection. Therefore, sun blinds
which have not been expressly approved for
use in your vehicle may not be attached to
the side windows.
●
Ensure that children are correctly seated
in their seats and that their heads are not
in the deployment zone of the head airbags
›››Fig.34, as deploying airbags could hit
them and cause serious injury.
●
The built-in coat hooks should be used only
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pock-
ets. Please, do not hang the clothes on coat
hangers.
●
The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; replace them once they have de-
ployed.
●
Any work on the head-protection airbag
system or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
removal of the roof lining) should only be
performed by a specialised workshop. Oth-
erwise, faults may occur during the airbag
system operation.
●
The side and head airbags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation
of the side and curtain airbags neither the
doors nor the door panels should be modi-
fied in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeakers). If
the front door is damaged, the airbag system
may not work correctly. All work carried out
on the front door must be done in a special-
ised workshop.
Knee airbag
Fig.35 On the driver side: location of the knee
airbag.
Fig.36 On the driver side: action radius of the
knee airbag.
The knee airbag is located on the driver side
below the dash panel ›››Fig.35. Airbags are
identified by the word “AIRBAG”.
The dashed area (deployment area) ›››Fig.36
is covered by the knee airbag when it is de-
ployed. Objects should never be placed or
mounted in this area.
WARNING
●
The knee airbag is deployed in front of the
driver's knees. Always keep the deployment
areas of the knee airbags free.
●
Never fix objects to the cover or in the de-
ployment area of the knee airbag.
●
Adjust the driver's seat so that there is a
distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) between
your knees and the location of this airbag.
