Child safety and side airbag* Children must never be seated in the deployment area of the side airbags and head airbags.Fig. 147 Seated position of an unprotected chil
d at risk from side airbag / child properly
protected by safety seatIn the event of a side collision, the side ai
rbags offer the vehicl
e occupants enhanced
protection. The side airbags are inflated in fractions of a
second in order to be able to provide this
protection
⇒page 151, “Function of the side airbags”.
An airbag inflating develops such a strong force that an occupant who has not adopted an upright seated position may suffer injuries
from the airbag or as a result of objects
which are located within the deployment area of the side airbag. This applies particularly to children if they are not transported in accordance with legal requirements. The child is protected when seated in a chil
d safety seat matching its age. Adequate
room is available between the child and the
deployment area of the side airbag and
head airbag. The airbag offers optimal protection.

ries if the front passenger airbag is
deployed. In certain countries national legal provisions also require that the side and head airbags be deactivated. When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please comply with
