Do not travel with objects
on your lap or in front of
you nor with a pipe, pencil
or similar between your lips; you
could seriously hurt yourself if the
airbag inflates in a collision.
Do not wash the seat
back in cars with side
airbags with pressurised
steam or water in automatic seat
washing stations.
Do not cover back rest of
front seats with trims or
covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.
The airbag does not re-
place seat belts but rather
increases their effective-
ness. Furthermore, the airbag is not
fired in the event of low speed front
collisions, side collisions, rear-end
shunts and roll-overs. In these
cases, the passengers are only pro-
tected by the seat belts which for
this reason must always be fastened.
It is important to remem-
ber that the airbag can be
fired even when the car is
stationary if it is hit by another ve-
hicle travelling at suitable speed. As
a consequence, hever sit children in
the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. On the contrary, the airbags
will not be fired if the car is crashed
into when the key is not inserted or
turned. Consequently, in this case,
the fact that the system is not fired
does not indicate a fault.
The airbag is set to be
fired in the event of colli-
sions which are greater
than the pretensioner settings.
Consequently, for collisions in the
bracket between the two thresh-
olds, it is normal for only the pre-
tensioners to be fired.
Always drive with both
hands on the rim of the
steering wheel so that the
airbag is free to inflate during a
head-on collision and protect you
from serious injury. Do not drive
with your body bending towards
the steering wheel, but sit in an up-
right position with your back rest-
ing against the seat.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the steer-
ing wheel, to the passen-
ger’s airbag cover or to the side
airbag covers.
