SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to fi\
nd
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those
designed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another veh\
icle)
may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
– The area between the rear bench seatback and the trim is the area of air\
bag operation: no objects must be placed here.
Side air bags
These air bags are fitted to the front
seats and are activated at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark-
ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (airbags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.43
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both \
the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts\
at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-
cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an acc\
ident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-
perficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such\
minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are no\
t always triggered .
Shocks to the underbody of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or\
stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, preten\
sioners, compu-
ter, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved\
dealer.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
the air bag inflates.
