Airbags on driver's side

To supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt (p. 28) on the driver side, the car is
equipped with two airbags (p. 33).
One of the airbags is folded up into the centre of
the steering wheel. The steering wheel is marked
AIRBAG.
Knee airbag on the driver's side in a left-hand-drive car.
The second airbag (at knee level) is fitted in the
lower part of the instrument panel on the driver's
side; this panel is labelled AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt
is not used or is used incorrectly, this may
diminish the protection provided by the air-
bags in the event of a collision.
