Side Airbags
An airbag can be fitted to each front
seat, which are deployed on the side of
the seat (door side) to protect the occupants
in the case of a severe side
impact.
Curtain Airbags
These are airbag fitted along the sides
of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger
along the front and rear door side windows
to protect the passengers in case
of a severe side impact.
Depending on the vehicle, a marking
on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment. |
Warning relating to the side airbag
- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require
covers specifically
designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out
if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than
those designed
for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle)
may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
- Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the
seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any
items such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating
correctly
or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the
seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
