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.

The area framed in red is covered by the

jects should never be placed or mounted in

In the event of a side collision the curtain air-
bag is triggered on the impact side of the ve-
hicle.
The head-protection airbags reduce the risk
of injury to passengers in the front and rear
side seats facing the impact.

Securing child seats Fig. 29

››› Fig. 29 A shows the basic child re-
str aint
system mounting using lower retain-
ing rings and the upper retaining strap. Fig-
ure ››› Fig. 29 B shows the child restraint
sys t
em mounting using the vehicle seat belt.
The seat belt may be used to secure univer-
sal type child seats to the vehicle seats
marked with a U in the table below.
● In the passenger seat without height ad-
justment
: It is necessary to place the passen-
ger seat in its rearmost position 1)
.
● In the passenger seat with height adjust-
ment: It
is necessary to place the passenger
seat in its rearmost and highest position 1)
.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back
in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-
tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-
straint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet. To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-
date a c
hild's seat and get the seat belt in a
perfect position, adjust the passenger back-
rest as far forward as possible 1)
.
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable. 1)
Compliance with current national legislation and
the manuf act
urer's instructions is required when us-
ing or installing child seats. 24
