The airbag system comprises thefollowing:

single-stage inflatable nylon bags(airbags) with gas generators

side airbags curtain airbags seat belt pretensioners a seat belt reminder crash sensors. a warning lamp in the instrument

panel. an airbag deactivation switch an airbag deactivation indicator in the

instrument panel an electronic control and diagnostic

unit.

E72330

WARNINGSRepairs to either of the front seatcovers, the sensors attached to theseats as well as to the roof lining

should only be carried out by properlytrained technicians. Injuries may result ifthe side airbags are triggeredinadvertently.

Do not block, obstruct or cover theairbag because it may preventproper deployment. Do not poke

any sharp objects into the areas whereairbags are fitted. This could damage theairbags.

Do not use any accessory seatcovers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.

These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.

E66553

WARNING

Always wear the seat belt and keepsufficient distance between thedriver and the steering wheel. Only

when the seat belt is used properly, canit hold the body in a position which allowsthe airbag to achieve its optimum effect.There is a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.

The seat and back must be set correctlyfor the airbags to be optimally effective.See Sitting in the correct position(page 105).

23

Occupant protection

This is the ideal seating position for thedriver and front passenger and helpsreduce the risk of injury from sitting tooclose to an inflating airbag.

E74302

The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which are eitherfrontal or up to 30degrees from theleft or the right. The airbags inflate withina few thousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forward bodymovement.

E72326

During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions, thefront airbag system will not be activated.

E78294

WARNINGSRepairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbag systemshould be carried out by properly

trained technicians.

Always keep the areas in front of theairbags free. Never affix anything toor over these areas.

These areas should only be wiped with adamp cloth, never with a wet cloth.

Side air bags

E72658

24

Occupant protection

A label on the seatback indicates that sideairbags are fitted. The side airbags arefitted on the side of the seatbacks of thefront seats. In case of a severe lateralcollision, the airbag on the side affectedby the collision will be inflated.

The airbag will inflate between the doorpanel and occupant. Once the occupantsbody contacts the airbag, the propellantescapes, thereby cushioning the impact.

The side airbags are not activated uponminor lateral collisions nor upon front orrear impacts.

Curtain air bags

E75004

Moulded badges in the A- and B-pillartrims indicate that curtain air bags arefitted. The curtain airbags are fitted overthe front and rear side windows inside theroof lining. In case of a severe lateralcollision, the air bag on the side affectedby the collision will be inflated.

25

Occupant protection

The restraint system, with beltpretensioners in the front seats, helps toreduce the risk of serious injury in a majorfrontal impact. During a serious crash theseat belts are pretensioned to helpreduce slack in the belt. The safety beltpretensioner is a device which removesexcess webbing from the safety beltsystem. When the safety belt pretensionerdeploys, webbing from the lap andshoulder belt is tightened.

The belt pretensioner is not triggered inany side, rear or minor frontal collisions.

This gauge indicates engine oil pressureup to a recommended safe maximum of5 bar.

During normal driving the indicated oilpressure will vary with engine speed, thepressure rising as engine speed rises anddropping as engine speed drops.

If the engine oil pressure drops below thenormal range, the oil pressure gaugepointer will drop into the red section of thegauge scale and the engine oil pressurewarning lamp in the main instrumentcluster will illuminate. Stop the vehicle assoon as safely possible and switch off theengine immediately. Check the oil leveland add oil if needed. See Engine oilcheck (page 178).
