CORRECT USE
OF THE CARSIDE WINDOW BAGS -
HEAD PROTECTION
They are “curtain” cushions located be-
hind the side coverings of the roof fig.
20and covered by proper finishing.
Window bags have been designed for
protecting the head of front and rear oc-
cupants in the event of side crash,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation sur-
face.
In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suf-
ficient), the air bags are not deployed.Also in this case it is of vital importance
to wear the seat belts since in case of
side crash they guarantee proper posi-
tioning of the occupant and prevent the
occupants to be pitched out of the car in
case of violent crashes.
IMPOTANTIn the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by
the system keeping a correct position on
the seat, allowing thus a correct window
bag unfolding.
IMPORTANTThe front air bags
and/or side bags may be deployed if
the car is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area,
such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
falling of the car in big holes or sags in
the road.
FRONT SIDE BAGS - CHEST
AND PELVIS ZONE
PROTECTION
They are composed by two types of in-
stant inflation cushions and are housed
in the back rest of the front seats fig.
19 . The task of the side air bags is to
increase protection of the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a
side crash of medium-high severity.
