Safety systems
Picture no: 11602s.tif
When triggered, the side airbag inflates in 
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for 
the driver or front passenger in the 
respective door area. This substantially 
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body 
in the event of a side-on collision. 
The side airbags will not be triggered in the 
event of: 
z the ignition being switched off 
z frontal collisions 
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns 
z collisions involving a rear-impact 
z collisions involving a side-impact outside 
the passenger cell.

 Warning
There must be no objects in the area in 
which the airbag inflates or in the area 
between the seat backs and the vehicle 
body. Do not place the hands or arms on 
the covers of the airbag systems. 
Important information – see page 87. 
The three-point seat belt must always be 
correctly fitted – see page 79.
