54 Safety
Occupant safety
Your vehicleisequipped with the follo wing
airbags:
! Driver's front airbag accommodated in
the steering wheel housing
! Front-passenger fron tairbag above the
glove compartment
! Sidebags (Coupé)
! in the middle of the doors
! in the rear sidewall
! Head /thorax airba gs(Cabriolet)
! in the outer sides of the front seats
! in the rear sidewall
! Windowbags (Coupé)
!along the roof frame betw een the
front and rear doors Airbag
deploym ent
The airbag inflates in milliseconds. The
1 warning lamp lights up. i
Ifth e airba gsare triggered, you will hear a
bang and asmall amount ofdust may also be
released. This bang will not damage your hearing
and the dust does not constitu te ahealth hazard.
Airbag inflation slows down and restricts
the mo vement of the vehicle occupant.
If a vehicle occupant comes into contact
with an airbag which has been triggered,
the airbag will release some hot gas. This
feature is designed to reduce the force act-
ing on the occupant's head and ch est.
These airbags are theref orein a depress u-
rised state follo wing the accident. !
Do not lean forwards , e.g. over the pad-
ded boss of the steering wheel, particu-
la rly while the vehicle is in motion.
! Do not put your feet on the dashboard.
! Only hold the steering wheel by the rim.
This allows the airbag to inflate fully.
If you hold the ins ideo f the steering
wheel, you could be injured if the airbag
is triggered.
! Do not lean on the doo rsfrom inside the
vehicle.
! Donot place any objects onthe airba gs
or between the airbags and the vehicle's
oc cupants.
! Donot ha nganyha rd obje cts, e.g. coat
hangers ,on the grab handles or coat
hook s.
Because of the high speed at which airbags
have to inflate, it is not possib leto rule out
entire lythe risk of injurie scaused by an
inflating airbag. 209en_d2.boo Seite
