The front airbags help protect the driver and 
front passenger by responding to frontal 
impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When needed, the 
head and side airbags help provide protection in 
the event of side impact. The relevant side air-
bag supports the side upper body area. The 
head air bag supports the head.

The airbags are deliberately not triggered in 
every impact situation, e.g. less severe acci-
dents or rear-end collisions.

Do not apply adhesive materials to the 
cover panels of the airbags, cover them or 

modify them in any other way.
Keep the instrument cluster and window in the 
region of the passenger seat free of foreign 
materials, i.e. do not cover them with adhesive 
film or covers and do not attach mounts, e.g. for 
a navigation device or mobile phone to them.
Do not install cosmetic covers, seat cushions, 
or other items on the front seats that are not 
especially approved for seats with integrated 
side airbags. Do not hang articles of clothing 
such as jackets over the backrests.
Do not attempt to remove the airbag restraint 
system from the vehicle. Do not modify or 
tamper with either the wiring or the individual 
components in the airbag system. This includes
