Air bag non-inflation conditions
OAC3039030TU
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
benefits beyond the protection of the
seat belts.
OAC3039031TU
Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not provide
any additional benefit.
OAC3039028R
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the severity
of impact.
OBH038060
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.

Instrument cluster control
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument clus-
ter whilst driving. This could result
in loss of control and lead to an
accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or vehicle damage.
Gauges and meters
Speedometer
OAC3049003TU
„ MPH, km/h
The speedometer indicates the speed
of the vehicle and is calibrated in
miles per hour (MPH).
Tachometer
OAC3049004TU
The tachometer indicates the approx-
imate number of engine revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.
