seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre
of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.

possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must
be secured.
WARNING

booster cushion in the front seat if the air-

Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should sit in the front passen-
ger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.

endanger the life of the child.
