Anti-lock brake system(ABS)* In conjunction with approved tyres in good condition, the anti-lockbrake system improves the stabilityand handling of your 106, particu-larly on poor or slippery surfaces. The anti-lock brake system ope- rates automatically if there is a riskof wheel locking. Lighting of the ABS warning lamp may be due to the turning of awheel during an operation on thevehicle (changing a wheel, forexample) with the ignition on (posi-tion
M).

operation of the system can berecognised by a light vibration ofthe brake pedal. Should an emergency stop be
necessary, press the brake pedal

AIR BAGS* The airbag system has been desi- gned to maximise the safety of theoccupants in the event of seriouscollisions. It works in conjunctionwith the seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle; if the triggering thresholdis reached the airbags inßate instant-ly and come between the occupantsand the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air-
bags deßate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-Þcient to ensure maximum protec-tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS* These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.They are deployed simultaneously(except in cases where the airbag isdisarmed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
