●
Any work on the head-protection airbag
system or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
removal of the roof lining) should only be
performed by a specialised workshop. Oth-
erwise, faults may occur during the airbag
system operation.
●
The side and head airbags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation
of the side and curtain airbags neither the
doors nor the door panels should be modi-
fied in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeakers). If
the front door is damaged, the airbag system
may not work correctly. All work carried out
on the front door must be done in a special-
ised workshop.

The knee airbag is deployed in front of the
driver's knees. Always keep the deployment
areas of the knee airbags free.

Adjust the driver's seat so that there is a
distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) between
your knees and the location of the this air-
bag. If your physical constitution prevents
you from meeting these requirements, make
sure you contact a specialised workshop.
Transporting children
safely
Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must use
a child seat or a seat belt. For safety reasons,
the child seat should be installed in the rear

seat, behind the front passenger seat or in the
centre back seat.
The laws of physics involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
›››
page 43. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to a
greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems when
travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety
products from the Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by "Peke" (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com).
