First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
The combined curtain and side airbags are located in the outer seat backrest cushions B of the driver seat and front passenger seat. The locations of the airbags are marked with stickers with the word AIRBAG. The area marked red defines the deployment range of the combined curtain and side airbag.
During a side collision, the combined curtain and side airbags will be deployed on the vehicle's side of impact, reducing the risk of injury to the areas of the vehicle occupants' bodies facing the impact.
WARNING
- Always keep the deployment zones of the combined curtain and side airbags clear.
- No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag deployment zone. Ensure that children and passengers keep to this rule.
- The built-in coat hooks should only be used for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp objects in the pockets.
- Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
- Do not fit seat covers or protective covers over the seats unless they have been expressly approved for use in the vehicle. Otherwise the combined combined curtain and side airbags may not be able to deploy if it has been triggered.
WARNING
- Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or alter any components of these seats.
- If too much pressure is applied to the backrest side bolster, the combined curtain and side airbags may not be triggered correctly, may not trigger at all or may trigger unexpectedly.
- Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the combined curtain and side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a qualified workshop.
