WARNING
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to the MAR position, the warning light F (with
passenger’s front air bag deactivation (where required) switch in the ON position)
turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that passenger’s air bag will be
deployed in a crash, after which it should go off.
Do not wash the seat back rest with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil,
etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered.
WARNING
The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the
pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds, it is therefore normal
that only the pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
WARNING
The air bag does not substitute the seat belts, but only increases their
effectiveness. Moreover, since the front air bags do not come into operation in
the event of front impact at low speed, side collisions, bumps from behind or
overturning, in these circumstances the occupants would only be protected by
the seat belts which must therefore always be fastened.
WARNING Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.
