side air bags A
These are fitted to the front seats and,
depending on the vehicle, the rear door
panels for the first rear row. They are
triggered at the side of the seats (door
side) to protect the occupants in the
event of a severe side impact.
The slits on the seatbacks
(door side) correspond to
the area of air bag opera-
tion: Never place any ob-
jects here.
curtain air bags B
These are fitted on both upper sides of
the vehicle. They deploy along the front
and rear side windows to protect oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
a
Warning concerning the side air bag
– fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may
affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark-
ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.
