All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.

Operating faults

This warning light 1 å will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on and then go out after a few seconds.

If it does not come on when the ignition is switched on, or if it comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault with the system (airbags, etc.) in the front seats.

Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until this fault is rectified.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

The airbags are not always triggered if the vehicle overturns or in the event of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle (such as from a pavement or stones, etc.) can cause this system to be triggered.

- Any work or modification to any part of the airbag system (airbags, ECU, wiring, etc.) is prohibited (except by qualified personnel from an authorised dealer).

- To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel may work on the air bag system.

- As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

- When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.

- When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
