Air bags
Introduction
The installation point of an air bag can be rec-
ognized by the AIRBAG marking.
An air bag complements the correctly fastened
seat belt. It is no substitute for the seat belt. The
air bag providesa dditional protection in appli-
cable accident situations.
Not all air bags are deployed in an accident. The
different air bag systems function independ-
ently from one another (
Ypage 50).
However, no system available today can com-
pletelye liminate injuries and fatalities.
It is also not possible to rule out arisk of injury
cause dbyana ir bag due to the high speed at
which the air bag must be deployed.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not sit in the correct seat position,
the air bag cannot protect as intended and
could even cause additional injury when
deployed .This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
To avoid hazardous situations, always make
sure that all of the vehicle's occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly,
including pregnant women
Rare sitting correctly and maintain the great-
est possible distance to the air bags
Rfollow the following instructions
Alway smake sure that there are no objects
between the air bag and the vehicle's occu-
pants.
RAdjust the seats properlyb efore beginning
you rjourney. Alway smake sure that the seat
is in an almostu pright position. The center of the head restraint must support the head at
aboute
ye level.
RMove the driver's and front-passenger seats
as far back as possible. The driver's seat posi-
tion must allow the vehicle to be driven safely.
ROnly hold the steering wheel on the outside.
This allows the air bag to be full ydeployed.
RAlway sleana gainst the backrest whiled riv-
ing. Do not leanf orward or leanagainst the
door or side window.Y ou may otherwise be in
the deployment area of the air bags.
RAlway skeep you rfeet in the footwell in front
of the seat. Do not put you rfeet on the dash-
board,f or example.Y our feet may otherwise
be in the deployment area of the air bag.
RFor this reason, always secure persons less

tems. Up to this height, the seat belt cannot
be worn correctly.
