Airbag system
Fig. 67
Front passenger airbag located in
dash panel. The front airbag for the driver is located in
the steering wheel
››› Fig. 66 and the airbag
f or the fr
ont passenger is located in the dash
panel ››› Fig. 67. Airbags are identified by the
wor
d “AIRBAG”.
The airbag covers fold out of the steering
wheel and dashboard respectively when the
driver and front passenger airbags are de-
ployed ››› Fig. 66 ››› Fig. 67
. The airbag covers
rem
ain connected to the steering wheel or
the dash panel. In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in
the event of a severe frontal collision
››› .
The special design of the airbag allows the
controlled escape of the propellant gas when
an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus,
the head and chest are surrounded and pro-
tected by the airbag. After the collision, the
airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility. WARNING
● The deployment space between the front
passengers and the airbags must not in any
case be occupied by other passenger, pets
and objects.
● The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; replace them once they have de-
ployed.
● It is also important not to attach any ob-
jects such as cup holders or telephone
mountings to the surfaces covering the air-
bag units.
● Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag system in any way. Types of front passenger front airbag
