Note
zIf the top of the sun roof is wet, tilt it to

Seats, interior55
The side airbags will not be triggered in the
event of:
zthe ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
if lateral impact is insufficient for side
airbag deployment,
z collisions involving a rear impact,
z collisions involving a side impact outside
the passenger cell.
Curtain airbags
The curtain airbag system is identified by
the word "Airbag" on the roof frame, and
protects front seat and rear outboard seat
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
The curtain airbag system comprises:
zan airbag with inflator in the roof frame
above the doors on the driver’s and
passenger’s side respectively,
z the control electronics,
z the side impact sensors,
z the airbag systems control indicator v in
the instrument panel. The curtain airbag system will be triggered:
z
depending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,
z together with the side airbag system,
z independently of the front airbag
system.

Seats, interior56
When triggered, the curtain airbag inflates
in milliseconds and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in the event
of a side impact.The curtain airbags will not be triggered in
the event of:
z
the ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
if lateral impact is insufficient for curtain
airbag deployment,
z collisions involving a rear impact,
z collisions involving a side impact outside
the passenger cell.
Airbag control indicator v
The front airbag system, side airbag
system 3 and curtain airbag system
are monitored electronically together with
the belt tensioners, and their operational
readiness is shown by the red control
indicator v in the instrument panel.
When the ignition is switched on, the
control indicator flashes several times then
extinguishes. If it does not flash, stays lit,
illuminates or flashes whilst driving, there is
a fault in the airbag systems or with the
belt tensioners. The systems might not
therefore be triggered in the event of an
accident (see also page 45).
9 Warning
There must be no objects in the area in
which the airbag inflates. Do not place
hands, arms or other body parts on the
covers of the airbag systems.
Never secure anything to the roof by
routing ropes through the doors or
windows, to avoid obst ructing inflation of
the curtain airbags.
Important information – see page 57.
The three-point seat belt must always be
correctly fitted – see page 43.

Seats, interior57
The system's integral self-diagnosis facility
allows faults to be quickly remedied.Important
z
Accessories not released for your vehicle
type and other objects must not be
affixed or placed in the area in which the
airbags inflate, as they could cause
injury when the airbags are triggered.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; danger of injury.
z Only use the hooks on the assist grips in
the roof frame to hang up light articles of
clothing or coat hangers. Do not place
any objects in the pockets of the hanging
items; risk of injury.
z Do not stick or place anything on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, front
seat backrests in the vicinity of the
airbags and seat areas or cover them
with other materials.
z The airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area. z
Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame
and seat area of the front seats. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your vehicle with side
airbags 3 may be fitted on the front
seats. When fitting the protective covers,
make sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
z The airbag systems are triggered
independently of each other, depending
on the severity of the accident and the
type of impact. The side airbag system 3
and the curtain airbag system are
triggered together.
z During off-road driving especially,
airbags can also inflate in moderate to
severe non-collision situations such as
when slamming the undercarriage or
other solid components of the vehicle in
a dip in the driving surface.
z Each airbag can be triggered only once.
Once triggered, an airbag must be
replaced immediately by a workshop.
9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault remedied by
a workshop.
