The lap belt must be positioned as
low as possible across the pelvis
to prevent pressure on the
abdomen.
Airbag system
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Notice
The airbag systems and belt
tensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
In the event of airbag deployment
have the steering wheel, the
instrument panel, all panelling parts,
the door seals, the handles and the
seats removed by a workshop.
When the airbags inflate escaping hot gases may cause burns.

Beyond the warning required by ECE
R94.02, for safety reasons never use
a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
with active front airbag.9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 47.
Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
Additionally there is a warning label
on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the front passenger sun
visor.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 33.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then the
airbag is able to protect.

inflates clear of obstructions.
Airbag deactivation
Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat have to
be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain airbag system, the belt
tensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.
The airbag deactivation system is
indicated by a label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the
front passenger door is open.
Front passenger airbag system can
be deactivated via a switch located on the front passenger door.
With the front passenger door open,
press switch in and rotate anti-
clockwise to the OFF position.
Front passenger seat airbags are
deactivated and will not inflate in the
event of a collision. Control indicator
W illuminates continuously in the
instrument cluster. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the installation
locations chart 3 49.9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system together
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person with deactivated front
passenger airbag.
As long as control indicator W is not
illuminated, the airbag systems for
the front passenger seat will inflate in the event of a collision.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.
If control indicator W remains
illuminated together with v, this
indicates a fault within the system. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
