WARNING
Do not modify the front of your
l
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Original text according to the
l
*1
UNECE
94.01 regulation:
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it!
*1 UNECE stands for United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
l
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold
you in a position that allows the
airbag to achieve its optimum
effect. See Sitting in the Correct
Position (page 97).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
l
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly
trained technician.
Keep the areas in front of the
l
airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the
airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into
l
areas where airbags are fitted. This
could damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
l
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Occupant protection
NOTE
You will hear a loud bang and see a
l
cloud of harmless powdery residue if
an airbag deploys. This is normal.
Only wipe airbag covers with a
l
damp cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags
The driver and front passenger airbags
will deploy during significant frontal
collisions or collisions that are up to 30
degrees from the left or the right. The
airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
cushioning forward body movement.
During minor frontal collisions, overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the
driver and front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
