Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultaneously,unless the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious frontimpact 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 head-
thorax of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
