2019 SKODA RAPID SPACEBACK airbag

Airbag system
Description of the airbag system

When the airbag inflates, smoke is released. This is not a sign of a fire in the
vehicle.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. The important factors here are the hard-
ness of the object with which the vehicle collides, the angle of impact, vehicle
speed etc.
Deceleration during impact plays an important role in the deployment of the
airbags. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured remains be-
low the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the airbags
are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage to the
bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.

WARNING (Continued)
vNo other persons, animals or objects should be placed in front of the oc-
cupants in the front seats in the deployment area of the front airbags.
v
The steering wheel and the surface of the dashboard on the passenger
side must not be stickered, covered or modified in any way. No parts (e.g.
cup holders, mobile phone mounts and the like) may be mounted near the
airbag installation points and in the airbag deployment area.

v
Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the passenger
side.
WARNINGInformation about for side and head airbags
vNo objects (e.g. sun visors turned towards the windows) should be loca-
ted in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories
(e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - risk of injury!
v
Hang only light clothing on the hooks in the vehicle, do not leave any
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets. Do not use hangers to hang up the
clothes.

v
No excessive force, e.g. through blows, kicks etc. should be applied to the
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side airbags. The side air-
bags would not be deployed in such a case!

v
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
ger seats must only be of a type expressly authorised by

WARNING
vNever leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items
of clothing hung up - danger of injury.
v
Do not use hangers to hang up the clothes - there is a risk of restricting
the effectiveness of head airbags and a danger of injury from the hanger.

v
Make sure that any clothes hanging from the hooks do not impede your
vision.
