56 Occupant safety
Stow objects in a suitable place.
#
Only one person should use each seat
#
belt at any one time.
Depending on the detected accident situation, the
window airbag on the front passenger side may
deploy. The airbag is deployed regardless of
whether the front passenger seat is occupied.
Protection provided by the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection offered by a cor-
rectly fastened seat belt.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
If you deviate from the correct seat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function.
Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the
following:
Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant
R
women must take particular care to ensure
that the lap belt never lies across the
abdomen.
Adopt the correct seat position and keep
R
as far away as possible from the airbags.
Observe the following information.
R
Always make sure that there are no
#
objects between the airbag and vehicle
occupant.
To avoid the risks resulting from the deployment
of an airbag, each vehicle occupant must observe
the following information in particular:
Before starting your journey, adjust your seat
R
correctly; the driver's seat and front
passenger seat should be moved as far back
as possible.
When doing so, always observe the informa-
tion on the correct driver's seat position
( page 108).
/
Only hold the steering wheel by the steering
R
wheel rim. This allows the airbag to be fully
deployed.
Always lean against the seat backrest when
R
the vehicle is in motion. Do not lean forwards
or against the door or side window. You may
otherwise be in the deployment area of the
airbags.
The occupants must always keep their feet on
R
the floor. Do not put your feet on the cockpit,
for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the
deployment area of the airbag.
If children are travelling in the vehicle, observe
R
the additional notes ( page 64).
/
Always stow and secure objects correctly.
R
Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent an air-
bag from functioning correctly. Each vehicle occu-
pant must always make sure of the following in
particular:
There are no people, animals or objects
R
between the vehicle occupants and an airbag.
There are no objects between the seat, door
R
and door pillar (B-pillar).
