fascia for the front passenger. Theyare deployed simultaneously except incases where the air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault If this warning light comes on, accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions. Itworks in conjunction with the force-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle: if the triggering threshold isreached the air bags inflate instantlyand protect the occupants of thevehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is suffi-cient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger* air bag

tor light on the instrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
