Airbags
Danger of injury!
In the interests of safety, smart
gmbh recommends that seat covers that
have been tested for cars built by smart
gmbh and have a designated tear seam
be used on cars with side airbags. A
side airbag could otherwise fail to de
ploy correctly and achieve its intended
protective potential in the event of an
accident.
6 30 On the move
Driver's airbag/front passenger's airbag
The front airbags are intended to in
crease the prospects of protecting the
driver and front passenger against inju
ries to the head or thorax. The front air
bags for the driver and front passenger
are activated:
at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
in the longitudinal direction,
if there is the prospect of supplement
ing the protective potential of the seat
belt,
independently of other airbags in the
car being deployed,
the airbags are not activated in the
event of a rollover, unless high vehicle
deceleration in the longitudinal di
rection is detected.
The front passenger's front airbag will
only trigger if the airbag has not been
manually deactivated.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger's seat, the pas
senger's airbag has not been deactivat
ed. If the passenger's airbag has not
been deactivated, a child could sustain
serious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger's
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger's airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger's airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
