Lateral Airbags
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG
.
The side airbag system is triggered in
the event of a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be switched
on.
The inflated airbags cushion the impact,
thereby reducing the risk of injury to the
upper body and pelvis in the event of a
side-on collision considerably.
Note
Only use protective seat covers that have
been approved for the vehicle.
Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain Airbags
The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG
on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered in
the event of a side-on impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be switched
on.
The inflated airbags cushion the impact,
thereby reducing the risk of injury to the
head in the event of a side-on impact
considerably.
Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the roof
frame are only suitable for hanging up
light articles of clothing, without coat
hangers. Do not keep any items in
these clothes.
