SIDE AIR BAGS
!
WARNING:
To ensure that the side air bags are
fully effective do not sit too close to, or
lean against the door trim. The side air
bag could injure you as it deploys from
the side of the seat.
The air bags, in combination with the seat
belts, can help reduce the risk of severe
injuries in the event of a significant side
impact collision.
When the seat mounted head and thorax
air bag inflates, it breaks through the seat
bolster stitching, giving protection to the
side of the rib cage and head of the driver
or front seat passenger.
The combined head and thorax side air
bags are designed to inflate only in a side
impact collision, unless the collision
causes sufficient lateral deceleration.
AIR BAG WARNING LAMP
The air bag warning indicator in
the driver’s instrument panel
will be lit for approximately six
seconds when the ignition is turned on.
If the indicator remains on, it indicates a
fault. Report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer
immediately. It is safe to drive the vehicle;
however, in an accident the air bags may
not operate.
Air bag warning lamp information is
shown on page 115.
