Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensorsattached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it mayprevent proper deployment. Do notpoke any sharp objects into the areaswhere airbags are fitted. This coulddamage the airbags.
Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distancebetween the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.
The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting inthe correct position (page 120).
This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.
During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbagsystem should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affixanything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.
Side air bags
A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted. The sideairbags are fitted on the side of theseatbacks of the front seats. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the airbagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupant’s body contacts the airbag,the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.
