Fig. 14 Location and deployment area of the
front airbag for the front passenger
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remains as far away as possi-
ble from the front airbag. This way, in the
event of an accident, the front airbags can
Airbag system
deploy fully when triggered, providing maxi-
mum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in
›››
the steering wheel Fig. 13 and the airbag
for the front passenger is located in the dash

word "AIRBAG".
When the front airbags are triggered they fill
the zones marked in red (deployment area)

placed or mounted in these areas
tory-fitted accessories are outside the range
of the front airbag for the driver and the front
passenger, e.g. the baseplate for the mobile
phone support.

wheel or dash panel when the driver and
front passenger front airbags are triggered

Fig. 14. The airbag covers remain connec-
ted to the steering wheel or the dash panel.
WARNING

tions of a second.
Always keep the deployment areas of the
●

● Never secure objects to the covers or in the
deployment area of the airbag modules, e.g.
drink holders or phone supports.

passengers and the airbags must not in any
case be occupied by other passenger, pets
and objects.
● Never fix any object to the windscreen
