PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Original text according to ECE
R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an airbag in front of
it! 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 that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect. See Sitting in the
correct position (page 90).Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly
trained technician. Keep the areas in front of the
airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the
airbag covers. Do not poke sharp objects into
areas where airbags are fitted. This
could damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags. Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Note:You will hear a loud bang and see
a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note:Only wipe airbag covers with a
damp cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags The driver and front passenger airbags
will deploy during significant frontal
collisions or collisions that are up to 30
degrees from the left or the right. The
airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
cushioning forward body movement.
During minor frontal collisions, overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the driver
and front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
22
Occupant protectionE74302 E72658

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

FASTENING THE SEAT
BELTS
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear a distinct click. You
have not fastened the seat belt
properly if you do not hear a click. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you
pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt. Let it retract completely
and smoothly. SEAT BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Note:Lifting the slider slightly while
pressing the locking button makes it easier to release the locking mechanism.
To raise or lower, press the locking button
on the adjuster and move as necessary.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING
The occupant protection system will
only provide optimum protection
when you use the seat belt properly.
The seat belt reminder warning
lamp illuminates and an audible
warning will sound if the driver's
or front seat passenger's seat belt has
not been fastened and the vehicle
exceeds a relatively low speed. It will also
illuminate if the driver's or front seat
passenger's seat belt is unfastened when
the vehicle is moving. The audible warning
will go off after five minutes but the seat
belt reminder warning lamp will remain on
until the driver's or front seat passenger's
seat belt is fastened.
