Airbags
WARNING
Do not modify the front of thevehicle in any way, as this canadversely affect the airbagdeployment.
Note: A loud bang will be heardwhen an airbag deploys and it isnormal to see a cloud of harmlesspowdery residue.
The airbag system comprises thefollowing:
•dual-stage inflatable nylon bags(airbags) with gas generators.
•side airbags
•curtain airbags
•seat belt pretensioners
•occupant sensors
•crash sensors.
•a warning lamp in the instrumentpanel.
•an electronic control anddiagnostic unit.

Occupant protectionE72324 E72330

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGS
Repairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensorsattached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.
Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it mayprevent proper deployment. Do notpoke any sharp objects into the areaswhere airbags are fitted. This coulddamage the airbags.
Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.
WARNING
Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distancebetween the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.
The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting in thecorrect position (page 90).
This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.
The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.

Occupant protectionE66553 E72325

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbagsystem should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affixanything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.
Dual-stage strategy
A system of sensors in the vehiclemonitors vehicle speed, the status ofthe seat belt and the position of thedriver’s seat. In case of an accident,the system is able to analyze differentcrash and occupant conditions andactivate the appropriate safetydevices.
In most airbag deployments, the firststage is deployed to provideoccupant restraint. The second stageis deployed afterwards. In the mostsevere crash events both stages aredeployed to provide occupantrestraint.
The system increases the safetypotential particularly for drivers whoare not of a standard height or not ina standard seating position.
Side air bags
27
Occupant protectionE72326 E72327 E72328

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted. The sideairbags are fitted on the side of theseatbacks of the front seats. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the airbagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupant’s body contacts the airbag,the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.
The side airbags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.
Curtain air bags
Moulded writing on the door pillarsover the seat belts indicates thatcurtain airbags are fitted. The curtainairbags are fitted over the front andrear side windows inside the rooflining. In case of a severe lateralcollision, the air bag on the sideaffected by the collision will beinflated.
The curtain air bags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Use seat belts at all times.
Never use a seat belt for morethan one person.

The seat belts should fit tightlyaround the body.
Seat belt pretensioner
