Introduction to the topic
In the event of a side impact, head airbags reduce
the risk of injury to the part of the body most
directly affected by the impact to the occupants of
the front and rear side seats.
Head airbags
Please note at the beginning of this chapter on
page 45.
Fig. 41 On the left side of the vehicle: location and
deployment area of the head airbag.
Depending on the equipment, there is a head
airbag on both sides of the passenger
compartment above the doors → fig. 41.
The location of the head airbags is indicated by the
marking "AIRBAG".
When triggered, the head airbag occupies the area
framed in red (deployment area) → Fig. 41. For this
reason, never place or attach objects in this area →
.
In the event of a side impact, the head airbag on the
side of the vehicle on which the impact occurred is
triggered.
Transporting children
safely
Child seats reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accident. Therefore, always use these seats
when transporting children!
Please note the following:
—
Child seats are classified into different groups
depending on the height, age and weight of the
child.
—
There are different fastening systems for
attaching child seats to the vehicle.
For safety reasons, child seats should always be
mounted in the rear seat.
