increasing intensity for 60 seconds or until the
driver or front passenger have fastened their
seat belts.
If the driver or front passenger unfasten their
seat belts during the ourney, the seat belt warn-
ing is activated again.
Air ba s
Introduction
The installation point of an air bag can be rec-
ognized by the AIRBAG marking.
An air bag complements the correctly fastened
seat belt. It is no substitute for the seat belt. The
air bag provides additional protection in appli-
cable accident situations.
Not all air bags are deployed in an accident. The
different air bag systems function independ-
ently from one another (
However, no system available today can com-
pletely eliminate in uries and fatalities.
It is also not possible to rule out a risk of in ury
caused by an air bag due to the high speed at
which the air bag must be deployed.

WARNING
If you do not sit in the correct seat position,

could even cause additional in ury when
deployed. This poses an increased risk of
in ury or even fatal in ury.
