Cupra FORMENTOR User Manual

Safety
●
Nev
er drive if the interior door panels
have been removed or if the panels have
not been correctly fitted.
●
Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeak-
ers in the door panels have been removed,
unless the holes left by the loudspeakers
have been closed properly.
●
Always check that the openings are
closed or covered if loudspeakers or other
equipment are fitted inside the door pan-
els.
●
Occupants of the outer seats must never
carry any objects or pets in the deployment
space between them and the airbags, or al-
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position. It is also important not to at-
tach any accessories (such as cup holders)
to the doors. This would impair the protec-
tion offered by the side airbags.
●
The built-in coat hooks should be used
only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets.
●
Great forces, such as hard blows or kicks,
must not be exerted upon the backrest bol-
ster because the system may be damaged.
In this case, the side airbags would not be
triggered.
●
Under no circumstances should protec-
tive covers be fitted over seats with side air-
bags unless the covers have been approved
for use in your vehicle. Because the airbag
deploys from the side of the backrest, the
use of conventional seat covers would ob-
struct the side airbag, seriously reducing
the airbag's effectiv
eness.
●
Any damage to the original seat uphols-
tery or around the seams of the side airbag
units must be repaired immediately by a
specialised workshop.
●
The airbags provide protection for just
one accident; replace them once they have
deployed.
●
Any work on the side airbag system or re-
moval and installation of the airbag compo-
nents for other repairs (such as removal of
the front seat) should only be performed by
a specialised workshop. Otherwise, faults
may occur during the airbag system opera-
tion.
Head-protection airbags*
Fig. 23 Location of head-protection airbags.
The head-protection airbags are located on
both sides in the int
erior abo
ve the doors
›››
Fig. 23 and are identified with the text
“AIRBAG”.
In combination with the seat belts, the Side
Curtain Protection® airbags provide addi-
tional protection for the upper part of the
body of vehicle occupants in the event of se-
rious side collisions or the vehicle overturn-
ing*
›››
.
The fr
amed ar
ea is covered by the head-pro-
tection airbag when it is deployed (deploy-
ment area)
›››
Fig. 23 . Therefore, objects
should never be placed or mounted in this
area
›››
.
In the e
v
ent of a side collision the curtain air-
bag is triggered on the impact side of the ve-
hicle.
The head-protection airbags reduce the risk
of injury to passengers in the front and rear
side seats facing the impact.
WARNING
●
In order for the head-protection airbags
to provide their maximum protection, the
prescribed sitting position must always be
maintained with seat belts fastened while
travelling.
●
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag
must be disabled in those vehicles fitted
