Only when the seat belt is used properly, can it hold the body in a position which allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. There is a risk of injury when the airbag deploys. The front air bags activate during major collisions which are either frontal or up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The air bags inflate within a few thousandths of a second.
Seating and safety restraints Always keep the areas in front of the air bags free. Never affix anything to or over these areas. These areas should only be wiped with a damp cloth, never with a wet cloth. Repairs to the steering wheel, steering column and air bag system should be carried out by properly trained technicians. 88 Side air bags A label on the seatback indicates that side air bags are fitted. The side air bags are fitted on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats.
Seating and safety restraints The air bag will inflate between the door panel and occupant. Once the occupant’s body contacts the air bag, the propellant escapes thereby cushioning the impact. The side bags are not activated in minor lateral collisions, front or rear collisions. The crash sensors for the side air bags are located under the outboard side of the seats, fixed to the floor. If water has entered the floor area, do not start the vehicle. Keep the sensors free from water, heavy or sharp objects.
Seating and safety restraints Air bag/seat belt pretensioner warning light Child restraints Baby safety seat When the ignition switch is turned to position II, the warning light in the instrument cluster illuminates for approximately three seconds to indicate that the system is functional. If the warning light does not illuminate, if it stays on or illuminates intermittently or continuously while driving, it means there is a malfunction. Have the system checked by an expert.
Seating and safety restraints Whenever installing a child seat/restraint, always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the manufacturer’s instructions are not followed properly or when the child seat/restraint is modified in any way. Do not hold a child on your lap while the vehicle is moving. Note: • If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the child safety seat checked by specially trained technicians as it might be damaged.
Seating and safety restraints Placement of child restraints If your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air bag, children of height 150 cm or under or aged 12 years and under must only be properly restrained in the rear seat – never in the front.
Seating and safety restraints Child restraints for different mass groups The correct restraint to be used depends on the child’s age and weight: Child safety seat Baby safety seat Driving direction Driving direction • Babies under approximately two years and/or weighing less than 13 kg are best protected if carried properly restrained in rearward facing baby safety seats on the rear seat.
Seating and safety restraints Booster cushion Never use a booster seat with only a lap belt. Never put the shoulder belt under a child’s arm or behind the back. Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. Driving direction • Children between three and a half and twelve years and weighing between 15 and 36 kg should use a booster cushion in the rear seat. An adjustable auxiliary belt fixed to the booster cushion ensures optimum routing of the diagonal belt over the shoulder.
