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 fascia, 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. The passenger airbag module is housed in the fascia above the glove compartment and is marked AIRBAG 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.
