The head-protection airbag system is triggered in
certain types of side collision
^>Fig.
235. Further
airbag systems may also be triggered, depending
on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbag fills
with a propellant gas and covers the entire area
in front of the side windows, including the door
pillars. The head-protection airbag inflates to
soften the impact if an occupant strikes parts of
the interior or objects outside the vehicLe with
their head. By reducing the head impact and re­
straining uncontrolled movement of the head,
the airbag also reduces the forces acting on the
neck.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of
a
second).
Important safety notes on the head-
protection airbags

There
are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.
A WARNING
- It is important to ensure that the area
around the openings for the head-protec­
tion airbags remains unobstructed at all

times,
so that the airbags can infLate prop­
erly if needed.
- The built-in coat hooks should only be used
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
When using the coat hooks, do not hang the
clothes on coat hangers.
- The space between the passengers and the
head-protection airbags must never be oc­
cupied by children, other passengers or

pets.
Passengers should never lean out or
put
a
hand
or
arm out of the window while
the vehicle is in motion.
- Do not move the sun visors out to cover the
side windows if there is anything attached
to them (such as pens or
a
garage door
opener). These objects could cause injury if
the head-protection airbag is triggered.
The sensors for the airbags are Located in
the front doors. You must therefore not
make any modifications to the doors or door
trim (e.g. retrofitting loudspeakers),
as
this
could impair the function of the side air-

bags.
Any damage to the front doors could
Lead to faults in the system. Repairs or any
other work on the front doors must there­
fore always be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop.
Sun blinds fitted on the rear doors must not
obstruct or impair the airbags in any way.
If unsuitable accessories are installed near
the head-protection airbag, the protection
afforded by the airbag can be seriously im­
paired if the system is triggered. When the
head-protection airbag opens, parts of
these accessories could be thrown into the
vehicle and injure passengers
^>page
340.
Any work involving the head-protection air-

bags,
or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
repairs to the roof liner), must always be
performed by
a
qualified workshop. Other­
wise the airbag system may fail to work
properly.

If
you
have no alternative but to install
a
rear­

ward-facing child seat on the front passenger's
seat you must deactivate the front passenger's
airbag beforehand.
We recommend that child seats should be fitted
on the rear seat so that the front passenger's air-
bag can remain functional and provide protection
in an accident

A WARNING

- If
you
have no alternative but to install a
rearward-facing child seat on the front pas­
senger's seat, the front passenger's airbag
must be deactivated beforehand. Potential­
ly fatal injuries to the child can result if the
front passenger's airbag is not deactivated

•=>
page 267
- If
you
have deactivated the front passeng­
er's airbag, reactivate it as soon as the child
seat is no longer needed so that the airbag
can continue to give the required protec­

tion.

- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that
the key-operated switch is set to the correct

position.
