There are a number of safety points concerning the airbag system which you should remember. This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an accident.

WARNING
  • It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dashboard Fig. 308►. The airbag system will not be able to give the required protection if you sit too close to the steering wheel or dashboard. There is also a risk of injury if the airbags are inflated. The front seats and head restraints must always be positioned correctly for the height of the occupant.
  • If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean forward or to the side, or are not seated correctly while the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag system be triggered in an accident there is an even greater risk of injury.
  • Never let a child travel on the front seat without an appropriate restraint system. If the airbag is triggered in an accident, the child could sustain serious or fatal injuries link►.
  • Child seats in which the child faces the rear of the car are located directly in the path of the front passenger s airbag if it inflates. In this case, the child could sustain serious or fatal injuries if the airbag were to be deployed.
    • Applies to vehicles on which the front passenger s airbag cannot be deactivated: Do NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger s seat.
    • Applies to vehicles with key-operated switch for deactivating the front passenger s airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger s seat while the front passenger s airbag is active. If you have no alternative but to use a rearward-facing child seat on the front passenger s seat, the front passenger s airbag must be deactivated beforehand via the key-operated switch* link►. Make sure that the front passenger s airbag is reactivated by means of the key-operated switch* as soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger s seat.
  • Occupants sitting in the front of the car must never carry any objects or pets in the space between them and the airbags, or allow children or other passengers to travel in this position.
  • Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the airbag unit on the passenger s side of the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modify them in any way. These parts should only be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth moistened with plain water). It is also important not to attach any objects such as cup holders or telephone mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.
  • Any work on the airbag system or removal and installation of the airbag components for other repairs (such as repairs to the steering wheel or removal of seats) must be performed by a qualified workshop.
