Airbags
Driver airbag/front passenger airbag
The front airbags are intended to in
crease the prospects of protecting the
driver and front passenger against inju
ries to the head or thorax. The front air
bags for the driver and front passenger
are activated:
 at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration or acceleration
in the longitudinal direction,
 if there is the prospect of supplement
ing the protective potential of the seat
belt,
 if the seat belt is in use,
 independently of other airbags in the
car being deployed,
 the airbags are not activated in the
event of a rollover, unless high vehicle
deceleration in the longitudinal di
rection is detected.
The front passenger front airbag is only
activated if
 the front passenger seat is in use or
occupied,
 the front passenger front airbag has
not been manually disabled.
Side airbags*
Danger of injury!
To minimise the risk of injury if
a side airbag deploys, you should en
sure that
 there are no other persons, animals
or objects between the vehicle occu
pants and the inflation range of the
side airbag.
 only lightweight garments are hung
from the clothes hooks in the car.
 there are no heavy or sharp objects in
the pockets of items of clothing.
Danger of injury!
If the airbag indicator light
does not come on when a baby carrier is
fitted to the passenger seat, the pas
senger airbag has not been deactivat
ed. If the passenger airbag has not been
deactivated, a child could sustain se
rious or even fatal injuries in the
event of the airbag on the passenger
side being triggered, particularly if
the child is in the immediate vicinity
of the passenger airbag at the time of
its activation.
The passenger airbag is only deacti
vated when you fit an original smart
baby carrier to the passenger's seat.
