WARNING
Vehicle occupants sitting in the front of the
vehicle must never carry any objects in the
deployment space between them and the
airbags, as this increases the risk of sus-
taining injuries if the airbag is triggered.
This modifies the airbag deployment space
or the objects may fly uncontrollably and
hit your body.
Never carry objects in your hand or on
●
your lap while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport objects on the front pas-
●
senger seat. In the event of sudden braking
and manoeuvres, the objects may end up in
the airbag deployment space and fly un-
controllably around the vehicle interior if
the airbag is activated.
Vehicle occupants of the front and outer
●
rear seats must never carry any other peo-
ple, pets or objects in the deployment
space between them and the airbags.
Make sure children and other passengers
also respect this recommendation.
WARNING
The airbag system provides protection for
one accident only. If they have been de-
ployed, they must be replaced.
Ensure deployed airbags and the system
●
components involved are immediately re-
placed with new, SEAT-approved compo-
nents for the vehicle.

Safety
Have any repairs or modifications carried
●
out at a specialised workshop. Specialised
workshops have the necessary tools, diag-
nostics equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Never fit recycled or reused airbag com-
●
ponents in your vehicle.
Never modify the airbag system compo-
●
nents.
WARNING
If the airbags are triggered, a fine dust is
produced. This is normal and it is not an in-
dication of fire in the vehicle.
This fine dust may irritate the skin and
●
eyes and cause breathing difficulties, par-
ticularly in people suffering from or who
have suffered from asthma or other illness-
es of the respiratory tract. To reduce
breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle
and open and doors and windows to breath
in fresh air.
Should you touch the dust, wash your
●
hands and face using a mild soap and wa-
ter before you eat.
Prevent the dust from affecting the eyes
●
or open wounds.
Rinse your eyes with water if you have
●
dust in them.
WARNING
Solvents cause the surfaces of the airbag
modules to become porous. If an airbag is
accidentally triggered, the detachment of
plastic parts could cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel and the sur-
●
faces of the airbag modules with cleaners
containing solvents.
