Limitations of the protection provided by airbags
& WARNING Risk of injury due to modifica-
tions to the cover of an airbag
If you modify the cover of an airbag or affix
objects such as stickers to it, the airbag can
no longer function as intended.
Never modify the cover of an airbag.
#
Do not attach any objects to the cover.
#
The installation location of an airbag is identified
by the AIRBAG symbol (
page 50).
/
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag may
prevent the airbag from functioning correctly.
& WARNING Risk of injury from objects in
the deployment area of an airbag
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag
can hinder or prevent the correct deployment
of the airbag.
The airbag may then deploy in an uncontrolled
manner and may even cause additional inju-
ries to the vehicle occupants by deploying.
This may be the case in particular if the airbag
is integrated into the seat.
Always stow and secure objects cor-
#
rectly.
Before commencing your journey, make
#
sure that no objects are stowed in the
deployment area of an airbag.
& WARNING Risk of injury if the cover of the
head airbag is damaged
If the cover of a head airbag is damaged, the
head airbag may no longer function as inten-
ded and may even cause additional injuries if
deployed. In particular, the cover of the head
airbag can be damaged by people sitting on it
or by heavy objects.
Before commencing your journey, make
#
sure that the head airbag covers are
undamaged. Have a damaged head air-
bag cover replaced immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Never sit on the cover of the head air-
#
bag.
