Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,

stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a CITR

qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags

nly put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITR

"
a ccessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
