Front passenger airbag located in

anel. The front airbag for the driver is located in
the s

g wheel ››› Fig. 17 and the airbag
for the front passenger is located in the dash
panel ››› Fig. 18. Airbags are identified by the
word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 17 ››› Fig. 18.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
The s

pecial design of the airbag allows the
controlled escape of the propellant gas when
an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus,
the head and chest are surrounded and pro-
tected by the airbag. After the collision, the
airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility.

text “AIRBAG” in the upper region of the
backrests.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airbag system provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal function of protecting the occu-
pants in a collision, the front and rear outer
seat belts also hold the passengers in the
event of a side collision; this is how these air-
bags provide maximum protection.

em mounting using the vehicle seat belt.
You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or
front passenger seat in the following ways:
● Child seats in groups 0 to 3 c
an be secured
with a seat belt.
● Child seats for groups 0, 0+ and 1 can be
fa

stened without seatbelts, using the “ISO-
FIX” system, using the “ISOFIX” ››› page 18
securing rings.
● During installation of some models of
group I, II and III chi
ld seats in the rear seat,
difficulty may arise in mounting given that
the seat comes into contact with the head re- straint. In this case, adjust the height of the
head r

estraint or remove it from the seat fol-
lowing the instructions in the corresponding
chapter ›››
 page 133. Once you remove
the child seat, replace the head restraint in
its original position.

The essentials
Top Tether* retainer straps Fig. 27
Position of the Top Tether rings on the
b ac
k
of the rear seat. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
w
ith a s
tr

ap for securing the seat to the vehi-
cle anchor point, located at the back of the
rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce the
forward movement of the child seat in a
crash, to reduce the risk of injuries to the
head from hitting the inside of the vehicle.
Using the Top Tether in rear-facing mounted
seats
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap. Securing the Top Tether* of the child
