Introduction to the topic
Airbag system
The vehicle is equipped with frontal airbags for the
driver and front passenger. The front airbags can
provide additional protection for the driver's and
front passenger's thorax and head when the seat,
seat belts, head restraints and steering wheel (in
the case of the driver) are correctly adjusted and
properly used. Airbags are only designed to provide
additional protection. Airbags are not a substitute
for seat belts, which must always be worn, even
when the front seats are equipped with front
airbags.
Never rely solely on the air bag system for
protection.
•
When triggered, the airbags only provide an
additional protective function.
•
The airbag system offers the best protection,
reducing the risk of injury, in combination with
safety belts.

•
Before setting off, always sit in the correct
position, always wear the seatbelt appropriate
to your body weight, and always wear the
seatbelt that corresponds to your weight.
Always keep it securely locked in place and
always carry it with you at all times during your
journey. This applies to all occupants of the
vehicle and also for urban journeys.
The risk of injury when the airbags deploy
increases if there is an object between the vehicle
occupants and the airbag deployment zone. In this
case, the airbag deployment zone is modified or
objects are thrown against the body.
•
Never carry objects in your hands or on your
lap while riding.
•
Never carry objects on top of the passenger
seat. In the event of braking
If the airbags are deployed, objects could be
thrown dangerously into the passenger
compartment if the airbags are deployed or if
the airbags are deployed in an abrupt
manoeuvre.
•
Do not allow other persons, animals or objects
to come between the occupants of the front
and rear seats.

When the airbags deploy, fine dust may be
released and steam may form. This is normal
and does not mean that a fire has broken out in
the vehicle.
•
Fine dust may irritate the skin and mucous
membranes of the eyes, and may cause
respiratory difficulties, especially in people
who are exposed to fine dust.
people who suffer or have suffered from asthma
or other respiratory impairments. To reduce
breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or
open the windows or doors for fresh air.
•
If you have been in contact with the dust, wash
your hands and face with mild soap and water
before eating.
•
Avoid contact of dust with eyes or open
wounds.
•
If dust comes into contact with eyes, flush
eyes with water.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are used, the
surfaces of the airbag modules become porous.
In an accident involving an airbag deployment,
plastic parts could become detached.
