they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts,
so their activation would not be
appropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the
steering wheel or the passenger
side airbag cover. Never put
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the
dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation
of the passenger air bag and
also cause serious injury to the
passengers.
WARNING
Their volume at maximum inflation
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger. The airbags are not
deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts is sufficient).
Seat belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal impact they
guarantee correct positioning of the
passenger.

The driver side and passenger side
front airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
