Safety instructions
WARNING
General information
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer optimum protection
■
if the driver and passengers are seated properly
The airbag unleashes enormous force when triggered, which can lead to
■
serious injuries or fatalities if the driver and passengers are not seated
properly. This applies in particular to children who are transported without
using a suitable child safety seat
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a spe-
■
cialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident.
