●
least 25 cm distance between your chest and
the hub of the steering wheel. If your physi-
cal constitution prevents you from meeting
these requirements, make sure you contact a
specialised workshop.
Adjust the front passenger seat so there is
●
as much distance as possible between the
front passenger and the dash panel.

WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
Always keep the deployment areas of the
●

Vehicle occupants of the front and outer
rear seats must never carry any other people,
pets or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags.

●
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
Do not mount accessories on the doors.
●
●
Only used protective covers for the seats
that are approved for the vehicle. Otherwise,
the side airbag would be obstructed when de-
ployed.

passenger seat could prevent the side airbag
from deploying properly and cause severe in-
juries.
●
Never remove the front seats of the vehicle
or modify any of their components.
