Front airbag system
The front airbag system consists of

one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

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

provided when the seat is in the
proper position.
Seat position 3 42.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.
Side airbag system
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This may be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
