Airbags

Front Airbags

Fig. 26

Location and deployment area of the

front airbag for the front passenger

In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remains as far away as possi-
ble from the front airbag. This way, in the
event of an accident, the front airbags can

deploy fully when triggered, providing maxi-
mum protection.

The front airbag for the driver is located in
the steering wheel

›››

Fig. 25

and the airbag

for the front passenger is located in the dash
panel

›››

Fig. 26

. Airbags are identified by the

word “AIRBAG”.

When the front airbags are triggered they fill
the zones marked in red (deployment area)

›››

Fig. 25

. Therefore, objects should never be

placed or mounted in these areas

›››

Front airbags on page 71

, Factory-fitted ac-

cessories are outside the range of the front
airbag for the driver and the front passenger,
e.g. the baseplate for the mobile phone sup-
port.

The airbag covers open out of the steering
wheel or dash panel and remain attached to
them when the driver and front passenger
front airbags are triggered
