airbags, located between the seat backrests and the access area. Their posi-
tion is indicated by the word "AIRBAG". The red area (dotted line)
shows the field of action of the side airbags.
In a side collision, the side airbags are triggered on the affected side of the
vehicle, thus reducing the risk of injury to passengers on that side.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in fractions of a second.
Always keep the deployment areas of the side airbags free.
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.
The built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do
not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
Do not mount accessories on the doors.
Only use protective covers for the seats that are approved for the
vehicle. Otherwise, the side airbag would be obstructed when deployed.
WARNING
Incorrect handling of the driver's and front passenger's seat could prevent
the side airbag from deploying properly and cause severe injuries.
Never remove the front seats of the vehicle or modify any of their
components.
Great forces must not be exerted on the backrest bolsters because the
side airbags might not deploy correctly, might not deploy at all or might
deploy unexpectedly.
Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the
side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a qualified workshop.
