Airbags (SRS)
Airbag (SRS) on the driver's
side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) in the steering wheel to
supplement the protection afforded by the
seatbelt. This airbag is fitted into the centre of
the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING!
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a
seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly,
this may diminish the protection provided
by the airbag in the event of a collision.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
1
The passenger airbag is fitted behind a
panel above the glovebox. This panel is
marked SRS AIRBAG
1. Not all cars have a passenger airbag
(SRS). This can be unselected when
the car is ordered.
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright
as possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts
must be secured.
WARNING!
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the
1
airbag (SRS) is activated.
Never allow a child to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat. No one
shorter than 140 cm (4 ft 11) should sit in
the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger the life of the child.
1. For information on activated/deactivated
