Airbags
Usage
The airbag system offers additional occupant protec-
tion in the event of severe frontal and side collisions,
as a supplement to the seat belts.
The best possible protective effect of the airbag is
achieved only when the seat belt is also worn. The
airbag system is no substitute for the seat belts.
Functionality
When sinking into the inflated airbag, the forward
movement of the body is damped and the risk of in-
jury is reduced.
As the airbags inflate, smoke is released. This
does not indicate a vehicle fire.
Airbag deployment in the event of an accident
Airbag deployment is influenced by many factors.
The deceleration rate at the time of impact is crucial.
WARNING
Danger of serious or fatal injuries!
Maintain the correct seating position.
▶
Airbags
Do not keep your limbs in the deployment area of
▶
the airbags.
In the following situations, no airbags are deployed.
Minor frontal and side collisions.
▶
Rear-end collision.
▶
Vehicle rollover.
▶
If the measured deceleration rate is below the refer-
ence values programmed into the control unit, the
airbags will not be deployed despite possible serious
vehicle damage.

WARNING
Danger of a functional restriction of the side airbags!
Do not exert excessive forces, e.g. impacts, on the
▶
seat backs.
Do not use seat covers that have not been made by
▶
ŠKODA.
Have damaged seat covers at the installation loca-
▶
tion of the side airbags repaired by a specialist ga-
rage.
Deactivating the airbags
We recommend having airbags other than the front
passenger airbag deactivated
tionby a ŠKODA service partner.
Deactivation of the airbags is provided for the fol-
lowing cases, for example.
If the driver's seat adjustment is correct, the dis-
▶
tance of at least 25 cm between the centre of the
steering wheel and the sternum can not be main-
tained.
Additional operating controls for a physically disad-
▶
vantaged driver are installed in the vehicle.
