Warnings 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 sold at approved accessory outlets. The use of
any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those de-
signed 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.
– These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.
