fig. 18L0C0145m
FRONT AIR BAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained into a special recess A
in the dashboard, this cushion has a
volume bigger than that of the driver.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of collisions of low severity (for
which the withholding action of the
seat belts is sufficient). For this rea-
son, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. During side collisions the seat
belts hold passengers in the correct
position and prevent ejection from the
vehicle during very violent collisions.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steer-
ing wheel in zone A-fig. 18, pas-
senger side airbag cover or side
upholstery on roof. Do not place
objects on the passenger side dash-
board because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the
airbag (e.g. mobile phones) and
cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do
not arrange child seats
facing backwards if the passenger’s
front airbag is on. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby.
WARNING
If the car is provided with
a front passenger airbag,
deactivate the airbag
when arranging a child
restraint seat on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s
seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the cradle
and the dashboard. Although this
is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no
longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.
