Airbag system
Description of the airbag system

When triggered, the airbag is filled with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the
airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
Upon inflation of the airbag, smoke is released. This is not an indication of a
fire in the vehicle.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. Important here is the hardness of the ob-
ject on which the vehicle impacts, the impact angle, the vehicle speed, etc.
The deceleration during impact plays an important role in the deployment of
the airbags. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured remains
below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the airbags
are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage to the
bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.

WARNING (Continued)
vNo other persons, animals or objects may be positioned in front of the oc-
cupants on the front seats in the deployment area of the front air bags.
v
The steering wheel and the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
ger side must not have stickers attached, covered or modified in any other
way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile phone mounts etc.( should be
mounted in the vicinity of the airbag installation locations and in the airbag
deployment area.

v
Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the front passen-
ger side.
