Airbag Deactivation - Skoda SUPERB Owner's Manual

WARNING (Continued)
No other persons, animals or objects may be positioned in front of the oc-
■
cupants on the front seats in the deployment area of the front air bags.
The steering wheel and the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
■
ger side must not have stickers attached, covered or modified in any other
way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile telephone mounts etc.( should be
mounted in the vicinity of the airbag installation locations and in the airbag
deployment area.
Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
■
ger side.
WARNING
Information about knee airbags
Adjust the driver's seat in a forward/back direction so that there is a gap
■
of at least 6 cm between the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the
knee airbag » Fig. 21 - . If it is not possible to meet this requirement due
B
to your body size, visit a specialist garage.
The surface of the airbag module in the lower part of the dash panel be-
■
low the steering column not have stickers attached, be covered or modi-
fied in any other way. Nothing may be attached to the cover of the airbag
module or located within the immediate vicinity.
Do not attach any bulky and heavy objects (bunch of keys etc.) to the ig-
■
nition key. These can be ejected by the knee airbag when it is deployed and
can cause injuries.
WARNING
Information about for side and head airbags
No objects (e.g. sun visors turned towards the windows) should be loca-
■
ted in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories
(e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - risk of injury!
Hang only light clothing on clothes hooks in the vehicle. Do not leave any
■
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of the clothing. Do not use clothes
hangers to hang the clothing.
The airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
■
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Further informa-
tion » page 256.
WARNING (Continued)
No excessive forces, such as knocks, kicks etc., should be exerted on the
■
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side air bags. The side air-
bags would not be deployed in such a case!
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
■
ger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. In view
of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of
non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the pro-
tective function of the side airbag.
Have any damage to the original seat covers or stitching at the installa-
■
tion point of the side airbags repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
■
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the seat)
must only be carried out by a specialist garage. Further information
» page 256.
No modifications should be made to parts of the airbag system, to the
■
front bumper or to the body.
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
■
sult in the airbag being deployed.
