AIR BAG OBSTRUCTION
Ensure that a gap is maintained between the
side of the vehicle, and the head and torso.
This will enable unobstructed inflation of the
curtain, and seat mounted side air bags.
Do not use non-approved seat
covers/accessory seat covers that have not
been designed for use with air bags. If in
doubt, consult your Dealer/Authorized
Repairer.
Do not obstruct the operation of the air bags
by placing any part of your person or any
odjects in contact with, or close to, an air bag
module. If the air bag inflates, objects or any
part of your person could interfere with the
inflation of the air bag or be propelled inside
the vehicle, causing injury to the occupants.
Do not allow passengers to obstruct the
operation of the air bags by placing feet,
knees, or any other part of the body, or any
other objects in contact with, or in close
proximity to, an air bag module.
Do not place objects between the air bag
module and the seat occupant.
Do not attach or position items on, or close
to, the roof lining, front seat backrests or air
bag covers which could interfere with the
inflation of the air bag or be propelled inside
the vehicle causing injury to the occupants.
For the curtain air bags to deploy correctly,
the roof lining and A-post trim must be
undamaged and fitted correctly. Any damage
or suspect fitting should be referred to a
Dealer/Authorized Repairer for examination
as a matter of urgency.
Air bags cannot deploy correctly if they are
obstructed. Examples of obstructions are:-
• Any parts of an occupant’s body in contact
with, or close to, an air bag cover.
• Objects placed on, or close to, an air bag
cover.
• Clothing, sun screens or other material
hanging from grab handles.
• Clothing, cushions or other material
covering seat mounted air bags.
• Seat covers which are not approved by
Jaguar or specifically designed for use with
seat mounted air bags.
This list is not exhaustive. It remains the
responsibility of the occupants to ensure that
the air bags are not obstructed in any way.
Note: Any unauthorized modification of the
vehicle or parts may invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
Note: Curtain air bags will not inflate as a result
of frontal or rear impacts alone.
