Safety
Airbags
▷
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.
The following airbags are located under the
marked covers:
▷
▷
▷
There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.

▷
▷
Make sure that the front passenger is sitting
correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs
in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries can
occur if the front airbag is triggered.
Front airbags
Front airbags help protect the driver and pas‐
senger by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide ade‐
quate restraint.
Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or
other objects on the front passenger seat
that are not approved specifically for seats
with integrated side airbags.
▷
▷
Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐
ets, over the backrests.
Side airbags
In a lateral impact, the side airbag protects the
side of the body in the chest area.
Make sure that passengers do not lean their
heads against the side airbag; otherwise, se‐
rious injuries could result if the airbag sud‐
denly deployed.
Protective action
Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.
▷
▷
▷
Do not remove the airbag restraint system.
Do not remove the steering wheel.
Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐
bag cover panels, cover them or modify
them in any way.
Even when all instructions are followed closely,
injury from contact with the airbags cannot be
ruled out in certain situations.
▷
Never modify either the individual compo‐
nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This
also applies to the covers of the steering
wheel, the dashboard and the seats.◀
The ignition and inflation noise may lead to
short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐
ing impairment in sensitive individuals.
