Front driver airbag
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the centre of the steering
wheel fig. 137.
WARNING
Always drive with your hands on the rim
of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back
straight against the backrest.
Front passenger airbag
This consists of an instantly-inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard fig. 138:
this bag has a larger volume than that on the driver's
side.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: Do not place
rearward facing child restraint systems
in front of an active passenger airbag on
the front seat. Deployment of the
airbag following an impact could cause fatal
injuries to the child. Always deactivate the
passenger side airbag if arranging a child
restraint system on the front seat is necessary.
Slide the passenger seat back as far as possible
to avoid contact between the child restraint
system and the dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the airbag should be
immediately reactivated when children are no
longer transported to ensure better protection
for adults.
