SAFETY DEVICES
Do not wash the seats with
pressurized water or steam
(manually or at the automatic wash-
ing stations).
WARNING
Front air bag activation if
foreseen in case of more se-
vere collisions compared with pre-
tensioner activation. For collisions in
the range between the two activation
thresholds, the fact that only the pre-
tensioners activate is normal.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
cloth hangers and to the
support handles.
WARNING
The air bag does not replace
the safety belts, it increases
their effectiveness. Furthermore, since
front airbags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-
end shunts or roll-overs, the occu-
pants are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all
times.
WARNING
Rotating the key on MAR,
the warning light “ turns on,
blinking for a few seconds, to remind
that the passenger air bag will acti-
vate in the event of a collision, then
it turns off.
