Airbag system
Introduction to the topic
The vehicle is equipped with a front airbag
for the driver and front passenger. The front
airbags can provide front seat occupants with
additional chest and head protection if the
seat, seat belts, head restraints and, in the
case of the driver, steering wheel are adjus-
ted and used correctly. Airbags are meant on-
ly for additional protection. The airbags are
not a substitute for seat belts. Seat belts
must always be worn, even when the front
seats are equipped with front airbags.
WARNING
Never rely solely on the airbag system for
your protection.
·
Even if an airbag is triggered, it only of-
fers auxiliary protection.
·
The airbag system offers the best level
of protection, and reduces the risk of in-
jury, when seat belts are properly worn
→ page 36.
·
Before every trip, each vehicle occupant
must adopt the correct sitting position,
correctly fasten the seat belt belonging
to their seat and keep it fastened prop-
erly throughout the trip. This applies to
all vehicle occupants and also in urban
traffic.
WARNING
The risk of injury increases if there are any
objects between the vehicle occupants and
the deployment area of the airbag when it
is triggered. This will alter the deployment
