Curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and passengers (with the 
exception of the centre seat of row 2) 
in  the   event   of   a   serious   side   impact   in  
order
  to   limit   the   risk   of   head   injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in 
the pillars and the upper part of the 
passenger
  compartment.
Activation
It
  is   triggered   at   the   same   time   as   the  
corresponding lateral airbag in the 
event
  of   a   serious   side   impact   applied  
to
  all   or   part   of   the   side   impact   zone B, 
perpendicular to the longitudinal 
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal 
plane
  and   directed   from   the   outside  
towards
  the   inside   of   the   vehicle.
The
  curtain   airbag   inflates   between   the  
front or rear occupant of the vehicle 
and
  the   windows.
Lateral airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event 
of  a   serious   side   impact   in   order   to   limit  
the
  risk   of   injury   to   the   chest.
Each
  lateral   airbag   is   fitted   in   the   front  
seat
  backrest   frame,   on   the   door   side.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event 
of
  a   serious   side   impact   applied   to  
all
  or   part   of   the   side   impact   zone B, 
perpendicular to the longitudinal 
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal 
plane
  and   directed   from   the   outside  
towards
  the   inside   of   the   vehicle.

Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to deactivate the 
passenger's front airbag when you 
install a rearward facing child seat on 
the
  front   passenger   seat.   Otherwise,  
the
  child   would   risk   being   killed   or  
seriously
  injured   if   the   airbag   were  
deployed.Reactivation
In the 
"OFF" position, the passenger's 
front airbag will not be deployed in the 
event   of   an   impact.
As   soon   as   the   child   seat   is   removed,  
turn the passenger's front airbag switch 
to the 
"ON" position to reactivate the 
airbag and thus ensure the safety 
of your passenger in the event of an 
impact.
