Deactivating Airbags - Seat Arona 2018 Owner's Manual

WARNING
In order for the head-protection airbags
●
to provide their maximum protection, the
prescribed sitting position must always be
maintained with seat belts fastened while
travelling.
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag
●
must be disabled in those vehicles fitted
with a screen dividing the interior of the ve-
hicle. See your technical service to make
this adjustment.
There must be no other persons, animals
●
or objects between the occupants of the
outer seats and the deployment space of
the head-protection airbags so that the
head-protection airbag can deploy com-
pletely without restriction and provide the
greatest possible protection. Therefore,
sun blinds which have not been expressly
approved for use in your vehicle may not be
attached to the side windows
The built-in coat hooks should be used
●
only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on
coat hangers.
The airbags provide protection for just
●
one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.
Any work on the head-protection airbag
●
system or removal and installation of the
airbag components for other repairs (such
as removal of the roof lining) should only
be performed by a specialised workshop.

Safety
Otherwise, faults may occur during the air-
bag system operation.
Do not attempt to modify components of
●
the airbag system in any way.
The side and head airbags are managed
●
through sensors located in the interior of
the front doors. To ensure the correct oper-
ation of the side and curtain airbags nei-
ther the doors nor the door panels should
be modified in any way (e.g. fitting loud-
speakers). If the front door is damaged, the
airbag system may not work correctly. All
work carried out on the front door must be
done in a specialised workshop.
