Safety notes on the front airbag system
If you use airbags correctly, they can considerably reduce the 
risk of injury in many kinds of accident.
WARNING
•It is important for the driver and front passenger to keep a distance of 
at least 25 cm from the steering wh eel or dash panel. If the minimum 
distance is not observed, the airbags do not correctly protect the vehicle 
occupants; risk of fatal injuries! In addition, the front seats and head 
restraints must always be positioned correctly for the height of the occu-
pant.•If you are not wearing a seat belt, if you lean forward or to the side while 
travelling or assume an incorrect sitting position, there is a substantially 
increased risk of injury. This increased risk of injury will be further 
increased if you are struck by an inflating airbag.•Never let a child travel on the front seat without an appropriate restraint 
system. If the airbag is triggered in an accident, children can sustain 
serious or fatal injuries from the airbag as it inflates  ⇒page 37, “Child 
safety”.•The deployment space between the front passengers and the airbags 
must not in any case be occupied by other passenger, pets and objects.•The airbags provide protection for just one accident; replace them once 
they have deployed.•It is also important not to attach any objects such as cup holders or 
telephone mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.•Do not attempt to modify components of the airbag system in any 
way.
