NOTinflate as a result of frontal or rear
impacts.
•
The warning light fails to illuminate when
the starter switch is turned to position ’II’.
In the event of a severe side collision, the
airbag on the impact side of the vehicle breaks
through the seat covering, rapidlyinflating to
form a cushion between the occupant and the
side of the vehicle.

The warning light fails to extinguish within
approximatelyfive seconds after the
starter switch is turned to position ’II’.
Note that a part of the outer side of the seat
trim (identified by the woven ’airbag’label) is
manufactured with a speciallyconstructed
seam which enables the airbag to break
through. The manufacture and materials of the
seat are criticalto the performance of the
airbag. For this reason, non-approved seat

To minimise the risk of accidental injury
from inflating airbags, seat belts should be
correctly worn at all times. In addition, both
driver and front seat passenger should
adjust the seat to provide the maximum
practical distance from the front airbags,
and also ensure that a gap is maintained
between the upper torso and the side of the
vehicle to enable unobstructed inflation of
the side airbags.
