78 Seats, InteriorzDo not stick anything on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, front seat
backrests or roof frame in the vicinity of
the airbags. Do not cover any of these
areas with other materials.
z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests and roof
frame. Do not use any aggressive
cleaning agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your vehicle with side
airbag 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 based on
the severity of the accident and the type
of impact. The side airbag system 3 and
the curtain airbag system 3 are
triggered together.
z The speeds, directions of movement and
deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle
concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and triggering of the airbags.
The degree of damage to your vehicle
and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for
triggering of the airbags were met. z
Do not perform any alterations on the
components of the airbag system, as this
would render the vehicle unroadworthy.
z We recommend having the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling
parts, the door seals, the handles and
the seats removed by a workshop.
z The applicable safety regulations must
be adhered to when the vehicle is
disposed of. The vehicle should therefore
be disposed of by a recycling company.
z People weighing less than 35 kg should
travel in the rear se ats only. This ruling
does not refer to ch ildren who travel in
child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat with the airbag systems
switched off. Use of child restraint systems
3 on the
front passenger seat

Warning
If handled improperly the airbag sys-
tems can be triggered in an explosive
manner – risk of injury!
9
Warning
No child restraint sy stem may be fitted
on the front passenger seat when the
airbag systems are active, could result in
fatalities.
If child restraint systems are to be used
on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag systems must be
deactivated 3, otherwise child’s life may
be at risk if the front and side airbag sys-
tems are deployed 3. This is particularly
true for rear-facing child restraint sys-
tems that are fitted to the front pas-
senger seat.
if the airbag systems for the front pas-
senger are not deactivated, the child
restraint system must be fitted in an
outer position on the rear seats.
