Safety instructions
WARNING
General information
The best possible protective effect of the seat belts and the airbag
■
system can only be achieved in the correct seated position
The airbag develops considerable forces when triggered, which can lead
■
to serious injuries or even death if the correct seating position or seated
position is not observed. This applies in particular to children who are trans-
ported without using a suitable child safety seat
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a spe-
■
cialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident.
