Ejection Mitigation
The head airbag system is designed as an ejec‐
tion mitigation countermeasure to reduce the
likelihood of ejections of vehicle occupants
through side windows during rollovers or side
impact events.
Knee airbag
The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal
impact.
Protective action
Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.
Information for optimum effect of the
airbags
WARNING
If the seat position is incorrect or the de‐
ployment area of the airbags is impacted, the
airbag system cannot protect as intended or
cause additional injuries due to triggering.
There is risk of injuries or danger to life. Ob‐
serve the hints for optimum protective effect of
the airbag system.◀

away from the side airbag.
▷Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim. Hold your hands at the
3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep
the risk of injury to your hands or arms as
low as possible when the airbag is trig‐
gered.
▷Make sure that the front passenger is sitting
correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs
in the floor area and does not support them
on the dashboard.
▷There should be no persons, animals or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.
▷Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐
bag cover panels, do not cover them or
modify them in any way.
