Wear
  a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do
 
not
 
allow
 
anything
 
to
 
come
 
between
 
the occupants and the airbags


(a
  child,   pet,   object...),   do   not   attach   or  
fix

  anything   near   to   the   airbags   or   their  
trajectories

  when   inflating   as   this   could  
cause

  injuries   when   the   airbags   are  
deployed.
Never

  modify   the   original   definition   of  
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly

  around   the   airbags.
a

fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
  stolen   or   broken   into,   have   the  
airbag

  systems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
carried out by a CITR

o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
  are   observed,   a   risk   of  
injury

  or   of   minor   burns   to   the   head,  
chest

  or   arms   when   an   airbag   is  
deployed

  cannot   be   ruled   out.  
The
  bag  
inflates

  almost   instantly   (within   a   few  
millis

econds)   then   deflates   within   the  
same

  time   discharging   the   hot   gas   via  
openings

  provided   for   this   purpose.Front airbags
d

o 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.
Do
  not   smoke   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.
Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the  
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause

  injuries   with   deployment   of   the  
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats,

  compatible   with   the   deployment  
the

  lateral   airbags.   For   information  
on the range of seat covers suitable

injury

  to   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral  
airbag

  is   deployed.
d

o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
 
equipment
 
only
 
operates
 
once.
 
If

 
a
 
second
 
impact
 
occurs
 
(during
 
the
 
same

 
or
 
a
 
subsequent
 
accident),
 
the
 
airbag

 
will
 
not
 
operate.
The
 
deployment

 
of

 
an

 
airbag

 
or

 
airbags

 
is

 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
slight
 
discharge
 
of

 
smoke
 
and
 
a
 
noise,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated

 
in
 
the
 
system.
This
 
smoke
 
is
 
not
 
harmful,
 
but
 
sensitive

 
individuals
 
may
 
experience
 
some

 
irritation.
The
 
noise
 
of
 
the
 
detonation
 
may
 
result
 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. The

 
passenger's
 
front
 
airbag
 
must
 
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed

 
rearward
 
facing.
