! Make sure th at there are no objects in the
footwell or be hind the seats when adj usting the
seats. You could oth erwise damage the seats
and the objects. If your ve
hicle doe snot have automatic
child seat recognition, children inrear-
ward-facing child restraint systems
must be se cured in a suitable seat in the
rear of th evehicle.
If you fit a forward-f acing child sea tto
the front-passenger seat, you must
mov e the front-pass engerse at as far
ba ck as possible.

ded boss of the steeri ng wheel), in par-
ticular while the vehicle is in motion.
! Do not place your fee tonthe dash-
bo ard.
! Only hold the steering wheel by the out-
side of the rim. This allows the airbag to
inflate unhindered. You could be injured

vehicle. !
Do not pla ceany objects on the airbags

occupa nts.
! Do not hang any hard objects ,for exam-
ple coat hangers, on the grab handles or

The risk ofski na bras ions or minor injuries
ca used byan airbag cannot becomp letely
eliminated due to the high speed at which
the airb agmust inf late.
