Air bags

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the centre
seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event
of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat
b e l t s .
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y a n d p r o t e c t

impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not
be deployed; the seat belt alone
