Warning
Seat belts must therefore always be worn.
The front airbag system serves to
supplement the three-point seat belts. If
you do not wear your seat belt you risk
being seriously injured, or even thrown
from the vehicle, in the event of an
accident.
The belt helps to keep you in the correct
seating position, in which the front airbag
system will provide you with effective
protection in the event of an accident.
