Airbags

The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
violent collisions. They supplement the action
of the force-limiting seat belts.
In this case, 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 airbags
are deployed instantaneously and protect
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,

- in the event of a minor impact or rear
impact and in cer tain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the seat
belt alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.



The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is off.

This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag
will not operate. The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.

Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or par t of the front impact
zone A
, in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
