1 Front airbag, driver
2 Front airbag, front passenger
3 Head airbags

4 Side airbag
5 Knee airbags

Front airbags

Front airbags help protect the driver and front
passenger by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide ade‐
quate restraint.

Side airbags

In a lateral impact, the side airbag supports the
body on the side in the chest area.

Head airbags

In a lateral impact, the head airbag supports the
head.

Knee airbag

The knee airbag protects the legs during a fron‐
tal collision.

Protective action

Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.

Information on how to ensure the optimal
protective effect of the airbags

Keep at a distance from the airbags.

Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim, holding your hands at
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep
the danger of injury to your hands or arms as
low as possible if the airbag is triggered.

There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.

Do not use the cover of the front airbag on
the front passenger side as a storage area.
