Warning
Disregard of these instructions may lead

Important
z Accessories not released for your vehicle
type and other objects must not be
affixed or placed in the area in which the
airbags inflate, as they could cause
injury when the airbags are triggered.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; danger of injury.
z Only use the hooks on the assist grips in
the roof frame to hang up light articles of
clothing or coat hangers. Do not place
any objects in the pockets of the hanging
items; risk of injury.
z Do not stick or place anything on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, front
seat backrests in the vicinity of the
airbags and seat areas or cover them
with other materials.
z The airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
Seats, interior
z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame
and seat area of the front seats. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your vehicle with side
airbags 3 may be fitted on the front
seats. When fitting the protective covers,
make sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
z The airbag systems are triggered
independently of each other, depending
on the severity of the accident and the
type of impact. The side airbag system 3
and the curtain airbag system are
triggered together.
z During off-road driving especially,
airbags can also inflate in moderate to
severe non-collision situations such as
when slamming the undercarriage or
other solid components of the vehicle in
a dip in the driving surface.
z Each airbag can be triggered only once.
Once triggered, an airbag must be
replaced immediately by a workshop.
