Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the headlining trim.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

Front airbag and side airbag systems
for the front passenger seat have to

The airbag deactivation system is
indicated by a label on the side of the
instrument panel, visible when the

be deactivated via a switch located on
the front passenger door.
With the front passenger door open,
