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.

impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.

airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
