The best possible protective effect of the airbag is
achieved only when the seat belt is also worn. The
airbag system is no substitute for the seat belts.
Danger of a functional restriction of the side airbags!
Do not exert excessive forces, e.g. impacts, on the
seat backs.
Do not use seat covers that have not been ap-
proved by ŠKODA.
Have damaged seat covers at the installation loca-
