SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle
in the impact detection zones (see
diagram): if the triggering threshold is
r e a c h e d , t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y
and protect the occupants of the
vehicle.
FRONT AIRBAGS
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 passenger airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact
zone A in the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and
from the front of the vehicle towards
t h e r e a r . T h e a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the dashboard to cushion his forward
movement. The airbags therefore limit
the risk of injury to the head and chest.
Front airbag malfunction

the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact
Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the
a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle. The air bags are
not deployed in the case of minor
impacts, rear impacts or in certain
roll-over conditions. The seat belt
i s s u f fi c i e n t t o e n s u r e m a x i m u m
protection in these situations. The
seriousness of a collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard

SAFETY
For the front, side and cur-
tain
airbags
to be fully effec-
tive, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried

After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible;
deployment of the airbags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.

The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, injury or
slight burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered cannot
