The front airbag system is triggered:
zdepending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,
z independently of the side airbag 3 and
curtain airbag systems.
Examples:
z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle;
the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle speeds,
z Impact against a yielding obstacle (such
as another vehicle); the front airbags are
only triggered at a higher vehicle speed. When triggered, the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags inflate in milliseconds
and form safety cushions for the driver and
front passenger. Forward movement of
driver and front passenger is checked and
the risk of injuries to the upper body and
head thereby subs
tantially reduced.
z No impairment of view will occur, as
airbags inflate and deflate so quickly. The front airbag system will not be
triggered in the event of:
z
the ignition being switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a si de or rear impact
where it would not be of benefit to the
occupants.
9 Warning
The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat, seat
belt, backrest and head restraint are
correctly adjusted.
Adjust the driver's seat according to the
occupant's height such that, with the
driver sitting upright, the steering wheel is
held in the area of its upper spokes with
the driver's arms slightly bent.
T h e d r i v e r ’ s s e a t s h o u l d b e a s f a r b a c k a s
possible without compromising the
driver’s ability to reach the pedals,
steering wheel or controls.
The front passenger’s seat should be as
far back as possible, with the backrest
upright. Do not place the head, body,
hands or feet on the cover of the airbag
system.
Do not place objects, children or pets in
the area in which the airbags inflate.
9 Warning
Seat belts must therefore always be worn.
The front airbag system serves to
supplement the three-point seat belts.
If you do not wear your seat belt, you risk
being seriously injure d, or even thrown
from the vehicle, in the event of an
accident.
The belts help to ma intain occupants in
the correct seating position for the front
airbag system to provide effective
protection in the event of an accident.

The system's integral self-diagnosis facility
allows faults to be quickly remedied.Important
z
Accessories not released for your vehicle
type and other objects must not be
affixed or placed in the area in which the
airbags inflate, as they could cause
injury when the airbags are triggered.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; danger of injury.
z Only use the hooks on the assist grips in
the roof frame to hang up light articles of
clothing or coat hangers. Do not place
any objects in the pockets of the hanging
items; risk of injury.
z Do not stick or place anything on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, front
seat backrests in the vicinity of the
airbags and seat areas or cover them
with other materials.
z The airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area. z
Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame
and seat area of the front seats. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your vehicle with side
airbags 3 may be fitted on the front
seats. When fitting the protective covers,
make sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
z The airbag systems are triggered
independently of each other, depending
on the severity of the accident and the
type of impact. The side airbag system 3
and the curtain airbag system are
triggered together.
z During off-road driving especially,
airbags can also inflate in moderate to
severe non-collision situations such as
when slamming the undercarriage or
other solid components of the vehicle in
a dip in the driving surface.
z Each airbag can be triggered only once.
Once triggered, an airbag must be
replaced immediately by a workshop.
9 Warning
