Airbag system
Brief introduction
Introduction
Front airbags have been installed for both driver and passenger. The front
airbags can also protect the chest and head of driver and passenger if the
seats, seat belts head restraints and, for the driver, the steering wheel are
correctly adjusted and used. Airbags are considered as additional safety
equipment. An airbag cannot replace the seat belt, which must be worn at
all times, even in front seats where front airbags have been installed.

Safety First Operating instructions
WARNING (Continued)
● The airbags provide the best protection when the seat belts are prop-
erly fastened, thus reducing the risk of sustaining injuries ⇒ p age 21,
Seat belts.
● Before each trip, every occupant must sit properly, correctly fasten
the seat belt belonging to his or her seat and keeping it fastened
throughout the trip. This rule is valid for all vehicle occupants.
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 sustaining injuries if the airbag is triggered. This
modifies the airbag deployment space or the objects may fly uncontrolla-
bly 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 passenger seat. In the event of
sudden braking and manoeuvres, the objects may end up in the airbag
deployment space and fly uncontrollably around the vehicle interior if the
airbag is activated.
● Vehicle occupants of the front and outer rear seats must never carry
any other people, pets or objects in the deployment space between them
and the airbags. Make sure children and other passengers also respect
this recommendation.
