Airbags
The side airbags are integrated into the
driver's and front passenger's seat
backrests. If activated, they are intended
to increase the potential protection for
the thorax (but not the head, neck and
arms) of the occupants on the side of the
car that is struck.
The side airbags are activated:
! on the side of the car that is struck,
! at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
acting in a lateral direction, e.g. a side
impact,
! if there is the prospect of
supplementing the protective potential
of the seat belt,
! if the seat belt is in use,
! independently of the front airbags
being deployed,
! independently of the belt tensioner,
! in situations excluding a rollover,
unless high vehicle deceleration acting
in the transverse direction is detected,
coupled with the prospect of
supplementing the protective potential.
>Note!
In the event of a side impact, the side
airbags will only deploy when the airbag
indicator light does not flash or illuminate.
Airbag indicator light
The airbag indicator light signals to you
that there is a fault in one or more of the
following safety systems:
! airbag,
! belt tensioners,
! child seat recognition system.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger's seat, the side
airbag has not been deactivated. If the
side airbag has not been deactivated, a
child could sustain serious or even
fatal injuries in the event of the side
airbag being triggered, particularly
if the child is in the immediate
vicinity of the side airbag at the time
of its activation.
The side airbag is only deactivated
when you fit a special smart baby
carrier to the passenger's seat.
