WARNING
WINDOW BAGS
(where provided) fig. 19
They are “curtain” cushions located be-
hind the side coverings of the roof and
covered by proper finishings, studied for
the head protection to offer the best pro-
tection to the front and rear occupants
in the event of side crash, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient), the air bags are not deployed.
Do not cover the backrest of
front seats with trims or cov-
ers that are not suitable to be used
with side bags.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
the coat hooks and to the
support handles.
WARNING
Also in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning
of the occupant and prevent the occupants
to be pitched out of the car in case of vi-
olent crashes.
Therefore the front side bags (where pro-
vided) are not a replacement of but com-
plementary to the belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as speci-
fied by law in Europe and most non-Eu-
ropean countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.
IMPORTANT Do not wash seats with
pressurised water or steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
