Wear a correctly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not leave anything between
the occupants and the air bags

hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side air bags

jury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an air bag is
triggered cannot be ruled out. In
fact, the bag infl ates almost in-
stantly (within a few milliseconds)
then defl ates within the same time
