WARNING Risk of injury or death
caused by seat covers
Seat covers may hinder or prevent air-
bags from deploying, and as a result the
airbags cannot provide the intended
level of protection for occupants.
â–º Do not use seat covers on the first
row seats.
WARNING Risk of injury caused by
door pressure sensor failure
The doors have door pressure sensors
to control airbags. Modifying or imple-
menting incorrect operation on doors,
door decoration boards and damaged
doors may impair the sensor function.
As a result the airbags may not be able
to function normally and provide the in-
tended level of protection for
occupants.
â–º Do not add or modify doors or door
components by yourself.
â–º Contact a smart Authorized Service
Partner for the related work.
WARNING Risk of injury or death
from deployed airbags
A deployed airbag no longer offers any
protection and cannot provide the in-
tended protective function in the event
of an accident.
â–º Contact a smart Authorized Service
Partner to have deployed airbags
replaced.
Protection provided by the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an
airbag may supplement the protection of-
fered by a correctly fastened seat belt.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due
to incorrect seating posture
Incorrect seating posture may cause the
airbag not to provide the intended level
of protection, and its deployment may
lead to other injuries.
To avoid risks, vehicle occupants must
observe the following:
â–º Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant
women must take particular care
with this. Never route the lap belt
across your abdomen.
â–º Make sure no people, animals or ob-
jects are ever placed between the
airbag and the vehicle occupant.
