Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This may be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the headlining trim.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint
is to be fitted on the front passenger
seat in accordance with the
instructions in the Child restraint
installation locations tables 3 61.
The belt tensioners and all other
airbag systems will remain active.
The airbag deactivation system may
be indicated by a label on the side of
the instrument panel, visible when the
front passenger door is open.
