Warning concerning the side airbag and central airbag

  • Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an Approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the airbag and reduce your protection.
  • Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with objects such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the airbag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
  • Do not place any objects on the cover of the central armrest storage compartment, this could affect the correct operation of the central airbag and/or cause injury when it is deployed.
  • Do let any objects hang out of the central armrest storage compartment, this could affect the correct operation of the central airbag and/or cause injury when it is deployed.
  • No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from our Network.
