AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS

When an airbag inflates, a fine
powder is released. This is normal
and not an indication of a malfunction.
The powder may cause irritation to the
skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from eyes and any cuts or abrasions.

Airbag deployment is accompanied by
a very loud noise which may cause
discomfort and temporary loss of
hearing.

AIRBAG WARNING LAMP

If the warning indicator signals that a
fault is present in the system, do not
use a child restraint on the front
passenger seat.

If any of the following warning indicator
conditions occur, the vehicle should be
checked by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer
immediately.
• The warning indicator fails to illuminate

when the START/STOP button is initially
switched on.

• The warning indicator fails to extinguish

within six seconds of the START/STOP
button being switched on.

• The warning indicator illuminates at any

time other than during the bulb check.
