Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s air
bags (if equipped)
OAC3039036R
„Driver’s front air bag
„Passenger's front air bag
OAC3039037R
Your vehicle is equipped with a Sup-
plemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the
driver and passenger seating posi-
tions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel and the passenger’s side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labelled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle’s driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-
tions:
‡ Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
‡ Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
whilst still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
‡ Never lean against the door or
centre console.
‡ Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
‡ No objects (such as crash pad
cover, mobile phone holder, cup
holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel,
windscreen glass, and the front
passenger’s panel above the
glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.
‡ Do not attach any objects on
front windscreen and inside mir-
ror.
‡ Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimise the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
