WARNING

Always drive keeping your hands on the

steering wheel rim so that the air bag

can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest.

Passenger side front air bag

This consists of an instantly-inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard fig. 95: this
bag has a larger volume than that on the driver's
side.

WARNING

SEVERE DANGER:When an active
passenger air bag is fitted, DO NOT
install backwards-facing child seats on
the front seat. Deployment of the air

bag following an impact could cause fatal
injuries to the child. Always deactivate the
passenger air bag if it is needed to place a child
seat on the front seat.The passenger seat must
also be slid back as far as possible in order to
avoid the child seat from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the air bag should be
immediately reactivated when children are no
longer transported to ensure better protection
for adults.
