Front airbags
Note:
The driver and front passenger front airbags are
designed to activate only in certain frontal impacts
exceeding a preset threshold.
Heavy objects on front passenger seat can cause the
side impact airbag to deploy in a crash.
Important!
The front passenger airbag deploys only if the front
passenger seat is occupied and the ü indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster is not illuminated.
Airbags are designed to activate only in certain
frontal (front airbags) impacts, or side (side impact
airbags) impacts which exceed preset thresholds.
Note:
Only during these types of impacts, if of sufficient
severity to meet the deployment thresholds, will
they provide their supplemental protection.
Heavy objects on the front passenger seat can appear to
the “SRS” to indicate the presence of an occupant in
that seat which causes the passenger front airbag to
deploy in a crash exceeding the appropriate threshold.
The driver and passenger should always wear their
seat belts, otherwise it is not possible for the airbags
to provide their intended supplemental protection.
Side impact airbags
In cases of other frontal impacts, angled impacts,
roll-overs, other side impacts, rear collisions, or
other accidents in which the airbags are not
designed to deploy, the airbags will not be activated.
The driver and passenger will then be protected by
the fastened seat belts.
The side impact airbags are designed to activate only in
certain side impacts exceeding a preset threshold. Only
the side impact airbags on the impacted side of the
vehicle deploy.
The side impact airbag for the front passenger deploys
only if the front passenger seat is occupied.
We caution you not to rely on the presence of the
airbags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt.
Side impact airbags operate best in conjunction with a
properly positioned and fastened seat belt.
