Notes on optimum protective effect of
the airbag
WARNING
If the seat position is wrong or the de‐
ployment area of the airbag is impaired, the air‐
bag system cannot provide the intended pro‐
tection, or may cause additional injuries when
it deploys. Danger of injury or life. Comply with
these notes for optimum protective effect.◀▷Keep your distance from the airbags.▷Make sure that vehicle occupants keep
their head away from the side airbag.▷Always grip the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim. Keep you hands in the
3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions to reduce
the risk of injury to hands or arms when the
airbag deploys.▷Make sure that the front-seat passenger is
sitting correctly, in other words with feet or
legs in the footwell, not resting on the
dashboard.▷Do not position any other persons, pets or
objects between the airbags and persons.▷Never attach any material to the airbag
covers with adhesive; never place material
over them or modify them in any way.▷Keep the dashboard and windscreen in the
area of the passenger's side free, for exam‐
ple do not attach adhesive foil or covers
and do not fit brackets for navigation devi‐
ces or mobile telephones.▷Do not use the front airbag cover on the
front passenger's side as a tray.▷Do not fit seat covers, cushions or other
objects not specifically suitable for seats
with integral side airbags to the front seats.▷Do not hang items of clothing such as
coats or jackets over the backrests.▷Do not modify individual components of
the system or its wiring in any way. This
also applies to the covers of the steering
wheel, the dashboard and seats.▷Do not dismantle the airbag system.
Even if all these notes are complied with, de‐
pending on the circumstances in which an ac‐
cident occurs, certain injuries as a result of
contact with the airbag cannot be entirely ruled
out.
The noise caused by the deployment of an air‐
bag may lead to temporary hearing loss for ve‐
hicle occupants sensitive to noise.
Operational readiness of the airbag
system
Notes WARNING
Individual components of the airbag sys‐
tem can be hot after triggering. Danger of in‐ jury. Do not touch individual components.◀
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly can lead to a
failure, a malfunction or accidental triggering of
the airbag system. If there is a malfunction, the
airbag system might not trigger as intended in
an accident, in spite of the accident being of
the appropriate severity. Danger of injury or
life. Have the airbag system tested, repaired or
removed and scrapped by a Service Partner or a qualified specialist workshop.◀
Correct function When the ignition is switched on, the
warning light in the instrument cluster
briefly illuminates in order to show the
functional readiness of the entire airbag sys‐
tem and the belt tensioner.
Airbag system disrupted
▷Warning light does not illuminate after the
ignition is switched on.▷Warning lamp is permanently illuminated.Seite 105SecurityControls105
