Protective action

To ensure that the safety systems con-
tinue to provide optimized protection,

please observe the adjustment instructions on
page

.

<

The front airbags help protect the driver and
front passenger by responding to frontal
impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When needed, the
head and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of a side impact. The side airbag sup-
ports the side upper body area. The head air
bag supports the head.
The airbags are deliberately not triggered in
every impact situation, e.g. less severe acci-
dents, certain rollover conditions, or rear-end
collisions.
