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 rapidlyso that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
t
he 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 su
fficient 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 sameor a subsequent accident), the airbagwill not operate.
The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from
th
e front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their forward movement. S
ystem which protects the head and chest of
