airbag will not be able to deploy if trig-
gered.

vehicle or modify their components.

seats or on the lower coverings with the word
AIRBAG in relief.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airbag system provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision
›››
.
In a side collision, the side airbags r
educe
the risk of injury t
o passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal protection, the seat belts also
hold the passengers in the event of a side
collision; this is how these airbags provide
maximum protection.
WARNING
●
If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward, or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at a greater
risk of injury if the side airbag system is trig-
gered in an accident.
●
In order for the side airbags to provide
their maximum protection, the prescribed
sitting position must always be maintained
with seat belts fastened while travelling.
●
In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work if the sensors do not correctly
measure the pressure increase on the inte-
rior of the doors, due to air escaping
through the areas with holes or openings in
the door panel.
