Airbags
Usage
The airbag system provides, as a supplement to the
seat belts, additional occupant protection during se-
vere frontal and side-on collisions.
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.
What you should be mindful of
Airbag systems can only properly protect if all occu-
pants have been secured and they are in the correct
seating position.
Holding eyes for instal-
ling the child seat using
the ISOFIX system.

Do not cover or stick anything over the steering

wheel or the dash panel. The front airbags were
not able to deploy.
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.
▶
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.
