Your vehicle is equipped with the follow-
ing airbags, depending on the equip-
ment version:\4
Driver’s front airbag, located in the
steering wheel
\4
Passenger’s front airbag, located
above the glove box
\4
Thorax sidebags* in the outer sides
of the driver’s seat and the passen-
ger’s individual seat
\4
Windowbags* in the side of the roof
frame between the A and B-pillars
Each airbag's cover is marked with the
letters "SRS/AIRBAG" or "AIRBAG".
How airbags workAn airbag inflates within milliseconds.
The
1
warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster comes on.
Airbag inflation slows down and restricts
the movement of the vehicle occupant.
Warning (Continued)
G
\4Do not cover the padded boss of the
steering wheel, the passenger’s air-
bag cover, the windowbag cover or
the thorax / sidebag cover with film or
other material. Do not affix any badg-
es or stickers to these areas.\4Do not hang any hard objects, for ex-
ample coat hangers, on the grab han-
dles or coat hooks.\4Do not place any items in the storage
compartment above the passenger’s
airbag if they protrude from the com-
partment. The passenger’s airbag
must be able to inflate unimpeded.The risk of injuries from an airbag cannot
be entirely ruled out due to the high speed
at which the airbag is required to inflate.
iIf the airbags are triggered, you will
hear a bang and a small amount of
dust may also be released. The bang
will not damage your hearing and the
dust does not constitute a health
hazard.
