To avoid hazardous situations, always make

sure that all of the vehicle's occupants:

R

have fastened their seat belts correctly,

including pregnant women

R

are sitting correctly and maintain the great-

est possible distance to the air bags

R

follow the following instructions

Always make sure that there are no objects

between the air bag and the vehicle's occu-

pants.

R

Adjust the seats properly before beginning

your journey. Always make sure that the

seat is in an almost upright position. The

center of the head restraint must support

the head at about eye level.

R

Move the driver's and front-passenger

seats as far back as possible. The driver's

seat position must allow the vehicle to be

driven safely.

R

Only hold the steering wheel on the out-

side. This allows the air bag to be fully

deployed.

R

Always lean against the backrest while driv-

ing. Do not lean forwards or lean against

the door or side window. You may other-

wise be in the deployment area of the air

bags.

R

Always keep your feet in the footwell in

front of the seat. Do not put your feet on the

dashboard, for example. Your feet may oth-

erwise be in the deployment area of the air

bag.

R

For this reason, always secure persons less

than 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in suitable restraint

systems. Up to this height, the seat belt

cannot be worn correctly.

If a child is traveling in your vehicle, also

observe the following notes:

R

Always secure children under 12 years of

age and less than 5 ft (1.50 m) in height in

suitable child restraint systems.

R

Child restraint systems should be installed

on the rear seats.

R

Only secure a child in a rearward-facing

child restraint system on the front-

passenger seat when the front-passenger

front air bag is deactivated. If the

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is

permanently lit, the front-passenger front

air bag is deactivated (Y page 45).

R

Always observe the instructions and safety

notes on the "Occupant Classification Sys-

tem (OCS)" (Y page 54) and on "Children

in the vehicle" (Y page 65) in addition to

the child restraint system manufacturer's

installation instructions.

Objects in the vehicle interior may pre-

vent an air bag from functioning correctly.

Before starting your journey and to avoid risks

resulting from the speed of the air bag as it

deploys, make sure that:

R

there are no people, animals or objects

between the vehicle occupants and an air

bag.

R

there are no objects between the seat, door

and B-pillar.

R

no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on

the grab handles or coat hooks.

R

no accessories, such as cup holders, are

attached to the vehicle within the deploy-

ment area of an air bag, e.g. to doors, side

windows, rear side trim or side walls.

R

no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects

are in the pockets of your clothing. Store

such objects in a suitable place.

G

WARNING

If you modify the air bag cover or affix objects

such as stickers to it, the air bag can no longer

function correctly. There is an increased risk

of injury.

Never modify an air bag cover or affix objects

to it.

G

WARNING

Sensors to control the air bags are located in

the doors. Modifications or work not per-

formed correctly to the doors or door panel-

ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the

Occupant safety
