AIRBAGS
S y s t e m d e s i g n e d t o m a x i m i s e t h e
safety of the occupants (with the
e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e p a s -
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
t h e v e h i c l e ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n
of the rear centre passenger);
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
they do not hinder visibility or the
e x i t o f t h e o c c u p a n t s ,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not
be triggered; the seat belt alone
i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e o p t i m u m
protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not op-
erate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the airbag(s) is accom-
panied by a slight emission of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
g l o v e b o x .
Operation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t 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 fascia to cushion their forward
movement.
