Seats, restraints59Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
Airbag deactivation
Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be
deactivated if a child restraint system
is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain
airbag system, the belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will
remain active.The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.
