Side airbags

(depending on vehicle)

This air bag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

Curtain air bags

(depending on vehicle)

These airbags may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and are triggered along the front and rear side door windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.

Depending on the vehicle, a marking on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

Warnings concerning the side air bag

- Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an authorised 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 airbags 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 any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

- No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.

- These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): Never place any objects here.
