R
Rearward-facing child restraintsystems
must not be fitted to the front-passenger
seat unless the front-passenger airbag has
been disabled. On the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger airbag is disabled
if a child restraintsystem with automatic
child seat recognition is fitted to the front-
passenger seat.The 4 PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp must be con-
tinuously lit.
If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle
does not have automatic child seat recog-
nition, or your rearward-facing child
restraint system does not have automatic
child seat recognition, children must be
secured in a child restraint system on a
suitable seat in the rear. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint system to the
front-passenger seat, you must move the
front-passenger seat as far back as possi-
ble.
R
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp-
edged objects in pockets of clothing.
R
Do not lean forwards, e.g. over the cover of
the driver's/front-passenger airbag, partic-
ularly when the vehicle is in motion.
R
Do not put your feet on the dashboard.
R
Only hold the steering wheel by the rim.
This allows the airbag to deploy fully.You
could be injured if the airbag is deployed
and you are holding the inside of the steer-
ing wheel.
R
Do not lean on the doors from inside the
vehicle.
R
Make sure that there are no people, ani-
mals or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants and the area of deployment of the
airbag.
R
Do not place any objects between the seat
backrest and the door.
R
Do not hang any hard objects, for example,
coat hangers, on the grab handles or coat
hooks.
R
Do not attach accessories, e.g. cup holders,
to the doors.
It is not possible to rule out a risk of injury
being caused by an airbag due to the high
speed at which the airbag must be deployed.
G
Risk of injury
Airbag functionality can only be assured if the
following parts are not covered and no badges
or stickers are attached to them:
R
padded steering wheel boss
R
front-passenger airbag cover
R
outer side of front seat bolsters
R
side trim next to the rear seat backrest
G
Risk of injury
Asmall amount of smoke is released briefly
when an airbag is deployed. The smoke could
cause short-term breathing difficulties in peo-
ple with asthma or other respiratory prob-
lems.
In order to prevent breathing difficulties, you
should leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so. You can also open the window to
allow fresh air to enter the interior. The smoke
does not constitute a health hazard and does
not indicate that there is a fire in the vehicle.
G
Risk of injury
The airbag parts are hot after the airbag has
been deployed. Do not touch them as you
could burn yourself.
Have the airbags replaced at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.Otherwise, occupants are
not protected by the airbags in the event of
another accident.
Front airbags
The front airbags increase protection for the
driver's and front-passenger's head and
chest.
