30 Safety WARNING • Children 12 and under can be killed by the airbag. • The back seat is the safest place for children. • Never allow a child to stand in front of the seat or to sit on the lap of a front seat passenger. Serious injury or death could result if the airbag is inflated in a crash. • The glove compartment must be closed while travelling. An open glove compartment door could cause leg injuries in the event of a crash. • Never place anything on the dash or in front of the seat as, in addition to being a hazard to passengers, this could interfere with the function of the airbag in the event of a crash. The same applies to the mounting of accessories on the dash. • Keep feet on the floor - never put feet up on the dash, on the seat or out of the window. • Do not carry anything in your lap. Front passenger seat WARNING Never secure a rear-facing child seat in the right front seat of a car equipped with a passenger airbag. Inflation of the airbag in the event of a crash could seriously injure or kill a child. The airbags are interconnected and have a common warning light, AIR BAG. The passenger airbag module is housed in the fascia above the glove compartment and is marked "SRS AIR BAG". Both airbags will be inflated in the event of a moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal crash, even if the passenger seat is unoccupied. Side airbag WARNING • This car is equipped with side airbags and no extra interior trim should be fitted. Failure to observe this warning could result in the side airbags not inflating as intended and thus not providing the intended protection either. • Never place any object in the area that would be occupied by the inflated airbag. • For optimum protection, sit upright in the seat, with your safety belt correctly fastened.
