Airbags (SRS) 01
Airbag (SRS) on the driver’s side
The car has an SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System) on the driver’s side to sup-
plement the protection afforded by the seat-
belt. This airbag is folded up into the centre
of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
Passenger airbag (SRS)
The car has an airbag 1 to supplement the
protection afforded by the seatbelt on the
passenger side. This airbag is folded up into
a compartment above the glovebox on the
passenger side. Its cover panel is marked
SRS AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat-
belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this
may diminish the protection provided by the
airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING
To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys, passengers must sit as upright as
possible with their feet on the floor and
backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must
be secured.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated.

Never allow a child to stand or sit in front of
the front passenger seat. No one shorter
than 140 cm should sit in the front passen-
ger seat if the airbag (SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above can
endanger the life of the child.
