ating an air cushion to help
reduce the impact on the occu-
pants and restrain them from
contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and
torso. When an airbag deploys,
as it will inflate nearly instantly, it
may impact an occupant and
cause an injury, or the loud
noise emitted by ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-
rary partial loss of hearing. Also,
as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them
may cause burns. For these rea-
sons, deployment of the airbags
is not entirely risk free. There-
fore, in order to reduce this risk,
the airbags are designed to only
deploy when additional reduc-
tion of the impact applied to the
occupants in a collision is nec-
essary.
If the force of the collision does
not cause the airbags to deploy,
the seatbelts will protect the
occupants.
WARNING
Do not install seat covers which
are not designed for use with this
vehicle, or attach a cushion or any
other accessory to either front
seat or hang anything on either
front seatback. Do not place
objects around the side of either
front seat. Refer to P.164for the
installation position of the SRS
side airbags.
WARNING
Do not lean against the door or
door window.
Also, do not install a cup holder or
any other accessor ies near the
SRS side airbags.
If anything is attached to or left in
the deployment a rea of an SRS
side airbag, the airbag may be
prevented from deploying or the
object may become a projectile
when the airbag deploys, possibly
leading to injury. Also, if an occu-
pant is leaning into this area, the
airbag may strike and injure the
head or arm of the occupant when
deploying.
WARNING
When using a cup holder, use the
use the existing cup holders in the
vehicle. Do not place anything but
appropriately sized containers
into the cup holders. Refrain from
placing hot drinks or glass con-
tainers in the cup holders as they
may cause burns or other injuries
in the event of a collision or sud-
den braking.

The explosive power that acti-
vates driver's/front-seat passen-
ger airbags very much depends
on the positions of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this
function over the long term, cali-

a respective message appears
on the Control Display. A corresponding message
appears on the Control Display.

Press the switch and move
the respective seat all the

2 Press the switch forward
again. The seat still moves
forward slightly.
3 Readjust the seat to the
desired position.
The calibration procedure is
completed when the message

If the message continues to be

When transporting older chil-

In this case, change the sitting

If it is not possible to activate the

WARNING
To ensure the front-seat passen-

must be able to detect whether a
person is sitting
in the front pas-
senger seat. The entire seat cush-

purpose. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Make sure that
the front passeng er keeps his or

The system generally detects
children seated in a child

lights up. This indicates that the
child restraint system has been
detected and the front-seat pas-
senger airbags are not acti-
