thrown forward into the area of the deploying
airbag. In this case, the inflating airbag may
inflict critical or fatal injuries on the occupant.
This also applies to children.
Always maintain the greatest possible dis-
tance between yourself and the front airbag.
This way, the front airbags can completely
deploy when triggered, providing their maxi-
mum protection.
The most important factors for triggering the
airbag are the type of accident, the angle of
impact and the vehicle speed.
Whether or not the airbags are triggered de-
pends primarily on the vehicle deceleration
rate resulting from the collision and detected
by the control unit. If the vehicle deceleration
occurring during the collision and measured
by the control unit remains below the speci-
fied reference values, the front, side and/or
curtain airbags will not be triggered. Take into
account that the visible damage in a vehicle
involved in an accident, no matter how seri-
ous, is not a determining factor for the air-
bags to have been triggered.
WARNING
Wearing the seat belt incorrectly or as-
●
suming an incorrect sitting position can
lead to critical or fatal injuries.
All vehicle occupants, including children,
●
who are not properly belted can sustain
critical or fatal injuries if the airbag is trig-

gered. Children up to 12 years old should
always travel on the rear seat. Never trans-
port children in the vehicle if they are not
restrained or the restraint system is not ap-
propriate for their age, size or weight.
If you are not wearing a seat belt, or if
●
you lean forward or to the side while travel-
ling or assume an incorrect sitting position,
there is a substantially increased risk of in-
jury. This increased risk of injury will be fur-
ther increased if you are struck by an inflat-
ing airbag.
To reduce the risk of injury from an inflat-

ing airbag, always wear the seat belt prop-
