injuries to passengers on the side of the
body and the head facing the accident side.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
●
Always keep the deployment areas of the
side airbags vacant.

The deployment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in any
case be occupied by other passenger, pets
and objects.
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-

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.
Great forces must not be exerted on the
