explosive manner, repairs must be

performed by skilled personnel

only.

9 Warning

Adding accessories that change

the vehicle's frame, bumper

system, height, front end or side

sheet metal, may keep the airbag

system from working properly. The

operation of the airbag system can

also be affected by changing any

parts of the front seats, seat belts,

airbag sensing and diagnostic

module, steering wheel,

instrument panel, inner door seals

including the speakers, any of the

airbag modules, ceiling or pillar

trim, front sensors, side impact

sensors or airbag wiring.

Note

The airbag systems and belt

pretensioner control electronics are

located in the centre console area.

Do not put any magnetic objects in

this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the

airbag covers and do not cover them

with other materials. Have damaged

covers replaced by a workshop.
Each airbag is triggered only once.

Have deployed airbags replaced by

a workshop. Furthermore, it may be

necessary to have the steering

wheel, the instrument panel, parts of

the panelling, the door seals,

handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to

the airbag system as this will

invalidate the vehicle operating

permit.

Beyond the warning required by ECE

R94.02, for safety reasons never use

a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat

with active front airbag.
The airbag label may be located on

both sides of the front passenger sun

visor.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system

on the passenger seat with active

front airbag.

Airbag deactivation 3 53.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the instrument panel on the

front passenger side. These can be

identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally, there may be a warning

label on both sides of the front

passenger sun visor.
Child restraint systems 3 55.
Airbag deactivation 3 53.

Seats, restraints

53

The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end 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 upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position.
Seat position 3 36.

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.
Fasten the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the

airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest.

This can be identified by the word

AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side 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 upper body and pelvis in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Note

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated if a child restraint

system is to be fitted on the front

passenger seat in accordance with

the instructions in the Child restraint

installation locations tables 3 58.
The side airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.
