attempts to service the system could
lead to failure in an emergency or
undesired airbag activation, either of
which could result in personal injury. Do

Protective effect
The front airbags supplement the three-
point safety belts by providing addi-
tional protection in the event of a
severe frontal collision in which the pro-

no longer be sufficient. The head and
side airbags help provide protection in
the event of a collision from the side.
The respective side airbag helps sup-
port the seat occupant's upper body.
