When triggered, the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the driver and front passenger. The forward
movement of the front seat occupants is
checked, thereby substantially reducing
the risk of injury to the upper body and
head.
No impairment of view will occur, because
the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.

Warning
The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat,
backrest and head restraint are properly
positioned: Adjust the driver's seat
suitably to occupant's height so that
when the driver is sitting upright, the
steering wheel is held in the area of its
upper spokes with the driver's arms
slightly bent. The front passenger's seat
should be slid back as far as possible with
the backrest upright (see page 63). Do
not place the head, body, hands or feet
on the covers of the airbag systems.
Do not place any objects in the area in
which the airbags inflate. Important
information – see page 78.
