It is important to yours
afety and that of your
passenger to have deployed air bags replaced
and to have any malfunctioning air bags
repaired. This will help to make sure the air
bags will continue to provide supplemental
crash protection for occupants .
Front air bags The fron
tair bags increase protection for the
driver's and front-passenger's head and
chest. Driver's air bag
0002deploys in front of the
steering wheel; front-passenger front air
bag 0003deploys in front of and above the glove
box.
They are deployed:
R in the event of certain frontal impacts
R if the system determines that air bag
deploymen tcan offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
R if the seat belt is fastened
R independently of other air bags in the
vehicle
Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage fron tair
bags. In the even tofacollision, the ai rbag
control unit evaluates the vehicle
deceleration. In the first deploymen tstage,
the front ai rbag is filled with enough
propellan tgas to reduce th erisk of injuries.
The front air bag is fully deployed if a second
deploymen tthreshold is exceeded within a
few milliseconds.
The deployment of the front-passenger front
air bag is also influenced by the weight category of the front passenger, which is
determined by the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) (Y
page 46).
The lighter the passenger-side occupant, the
higher the vehicle deceleration rate required
(predicted at the start of the impact) for
second stage inflation of the front-passenger
front air bag. In the second stage, the front
air bags are inflated with the maximum
amount of propellant gas available.
The front air bags are not deployed in
situations where a low impact severity is
predicted. You will then be protected by the
fastened seat belt.
The front-passenger front air bag will only be
deployed if:
R the system, based on the OCS weight
sensor readings, detects that the front-
passenger seat is occupied
R the 0019001B indicator lamp on the center
console is not lit (Y page 46)
R the air bag control unit predicts a high-
impact severity.
Driver's knee bag Driver's knee bag
0002increases the driver's
protection against:
R knee injuries
R thigh injuries
R lower leg injuries
Driver's knee bag 0002deploys under the
steering column. If, during a frontal collision,
the system determines that air bag
deployment can offer additional protection to 44

When automatic climate control is activated,
the glove box can be ventilated, for instance
to cool its contents. The level of airflow depends on the airflow and air distribution
settings.
!
Close the air vent when heating the
vehicle.
At high outside temperatures, open the air
vent and activate the "cooling with air
dehumidification" function. Otherwise,
temperature-sensitive items stored in the
glove box could be damaged. 0002
