word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 20 ››› Fig. 21.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision
››
› in
Fr ont
airbags on page 75.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occupant
puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are protected by the airbag. After the
collision, the airbag deflates sufficiently to
allow visibility.

The essentials
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airb ag sy
stem provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision ››› in Side airbags* on
p ag

e 75.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal protection, the seat belts also
hold the passengers in the event of a side
collision; this is how these airbags provide
maximum protection.

sy s

tem mounting using the vehicle seat belt.
The seat belt may be used to secure univer-
sal type child seats to the vehicle seats
marked with a U in the table below.
● In the passenger seat without height ad-
justmen
t: It is necessary to place the passen-
ger seat in its rearmost position 1)
. ●
In the pas
senger seat with height adjust-
ment: It is necessary to place the passenger
seat in its rearmost and highest position 1)
.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back
in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-
tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-
straint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet. To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-
dat
e a child's seat and get the seat belt in a
perfect position, adjust the passenger back-
rest as far forward as possible. 1)
.
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable. 1)
Compliance with current national legislation and
the m anuf

acturer's instructions is required when us-
ing or installing child seats. 18
