Occupant protection


30/278

WARNINGS

Repairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensors

attached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.

Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it may

prevent proper deployment. Do notpoke any sharp objects into the areas

where airbags are fitted. This coulddamage the airbags.

Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specifically

designed for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.

E66553

WARNING

Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distance

between the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbag

to achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.

The seat and back must be set

correctly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting inthe correct position (page 120).

This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E72325

28

Occupant protection


31/278

The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeitherfrontal orup to 30

degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.

E72326

During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,

the front airbag system will not beactivated.

E78294

WARNINGS

Repairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbag

system should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.

Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affix

anything to or over these areas.

These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.

Side air bags

E72328

A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted. The sideairbags are fitted on the side of the

seatbacks of the front seats. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the airbagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.

The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupants body contacts the airbag,

the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.

29

Occupant protection


32/278

The side airbags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor upon

front or rear impacts.

Curtain air bags

E72329

Moulded badges in the A- andB-piller trims indicate that curtain airbags are fitted. The curtain airbags

are fitted over the front and rear sidewindows inside the roof lining. In caseof a severe lateral collision, the air bagon the side affected by the collisionwill be inflated.

The curtain air bags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor upon

front or rear impacts.

Seat belt pretensioner

E72333

WARNING

The belt pretensioners must not

be removed. If thepretensioners are deployed duringan accident, they must be replaced.Have the pretensioners serviced anddisposed of by specially trainedpersonnel only.

The restraint system, with beltpretensioners in the front seats, helps

to reduce the risk of serious injury in

a major frontal impact. During aserious crash the seat belts arepretensioned to help reduce slack in

the belt. The safety belt pretensioneris a device which removes excesswebbing from the safety belt system.

When the safety belt pretensionerdeploys, webbing from the lap andshoulder belt is tightened.

In icy conditions, make sure thatthe windscreen has been fullydefrosted before selectingautowipers.

Switch off the autowipersbefore entering a car wash.

Note: The autowipers feature isintended for use during wet weatherconditions only. It should not be

selected in dry weather conditionsas the system is very sensitive toobjects such as dirt, mist or flieshitting the windscreen near the rainsensor. This may cause the wipersto wipe even though the screen ismostly dry.

Note: The autowipers functionshould not be selected when it is

snowing or foggy, or when the roadshave been salted. In these weatherconditions, select positionA, CorD,if necessary.

When the lever is moved to positionB with the ignition switched on, thewipers will cycle once regardless ofwhether the front screen is wet ordry.

Depending on the equipment fitted,when the ignition is switched on with

the lever already in position B, the

wipers will not cycle until water isdetected on the windscreen.

Alternatively, move the lever toanother position and then back to B,or operate the washer.

Thereafter, the rain sensor willcontinuously measure the amount ofwater on the windscreen and adjust
