Protective action
Front airbags help protect the driver and front
passenger by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide ade‐
quate restraint.
Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.
Information on how to ensure the optimal
protective effect of the airbags
Side airbags
▷
▷
Keep at a distance from the airbags.
In a lateral impact, the side airbag supports the
body on the side in the chest area.
Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim, holding your hands at
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep
the danger of injury to your hands or arms as
low as possible if the airbag is triggered.
Head airbags
In a lateral impact, the head airbag supports the
head.
▷
▷
There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.
Knee airbag
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on
the front passenger side as a storage area.
The knee airbag protects the legs during a fron‐
tal collision.
