The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the chest and
shoulder areas. During minor lateral
collisions, overturns, front collisions and
rear collisions, the side airbags will not
deploy.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
The curtain airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. The airbag will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the head. During
minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear
collisions, or overturns the curtain airbags
will not deploy. Seat belts WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect.
See Sitting in the correct position
(page 90). Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips. The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners
have a lower deployment threshold than
the airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNING
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician. 23
