Before driving 3-5

!

WARNING:

1. No objects whatsoever should be

attached to the centre cover of the
steering wheel, the passenger
fascia panel or the sides of the
driver and front passenger seats.
Do not put anything on or over the
airbag inflation area. Placing
objects on or over the airbag
inflation area may cause those
objects to be propelled by the
airbag into your face and torso
causing serious injury.

2. Safety experts recommend a

minimum distance of at least
254 mm between an occupant's
chest and a front airbag.

3. Children 12 years old and younger

can be killed or seriously injured
by the airbag. The rear seat is the
safest place for children.

4. Do not try to put an adult seat belt

around two children.

5. Several airbag system components

get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after they have
deployed.

6. Child restraint anchorages are

designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts or for attaching
other items or equipment to the
vehicle.

7. DO NOT install a rearward-facing

child seat in the front passenger
seat position.
This is emphasised by the label
displayed on the end of the fascia
on the front passenger side, as
shown on the illustration.
If however, you must sit a child in
the front passenger seat use only a
forward facing child seat with the
passenger seat set fully rearward.
Always follow the fitting
instructions supplied with the
appropriate child restraint system.

8. To ensure that the side airbags are

fully effective:
DO NOT sit too close to, or lean
against the door trim. The side
airbag could injure you as it
deploys from the side of the seat.
DO NOT lean out of the window
aperture.
Only use JAGUAR APPROVED
accessories (e.g. seat covers).
Due to the function of the
CURTAIN AIRBAG deployment,
CONSULT your Jaguar Dealer prior
to installing any ACCESSORIES in
the upper environment/pillar trim
area (e.g. HANDS-FREE
TELEPHONE KITS).

9. If an airbag is inflated, the airbag

will not function again and must
be renewed immediately. If a new
airbag is not fitted, the unrepaired
area will increase the risk of injury
in a collision.

Airbag warning information is printed on

the driver’s and passenger’s sunvisor.

Airbag warning light information is shown

on page 4-6.
