Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLIGENTS
(ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines
applicables aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). Le boîtier électronique de
coussins gonflables (ECU) utilise les informations reçues des capteurs, etc.
détaillés dans le schéma ci-dessus de composition du système pour commander
le déploiement des coussins gonflabl es. Ces informations comprennent des
informations sur la gravité de la collision et les occupants. Le déploiement rapide
des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une réaction chimique dans les
dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant d’amortir le
mouvement des occupants.
AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suivantes conc ernant les coussins gonflables SRS.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
●Le conducteur et tous les passagers à bord du véhicule doivent porter leur ceinture
de sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des disp ositifs de protection complémentaires aux
ceintures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une puissance considérable et
peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, notamment lorsque le
conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable. L’autorité fédérale chargée de la
sécurité routière aux États-Unis, la NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration) conseille:
Sachant que la zone à risque du coussin gonflable conducteur se trouve dans les
premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) de déploiement, vous disposez d’une marge de
sécurité confortable en vous plaçant à 10 in. (250 mm) du coussin gonflable
conducteur. Cette distance est à mesurer entre le moyeu du volant de direction et le
sternum. Si vous vous tenez à moins de 10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre
position de conduite de plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, tout en continuant à pouvoir atteindre
confortablement les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du sièg e. Même si les véhicules sont conçus
différemment, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent maintenir une distance de 10 in.
(250 mm), même si le siège se trouve co mplètement vers l’avant, simplement en
inclinant un peu le dossier du siège vers l’arrière. Si vous avez des difficultés à voir
la route après avoir incliné votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidérapant
pour vous rehausser ou, si votre véhicu le est équipé du réglage en hauteur du
siège, remontez-le.
• Si votre volant de direction est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela vous permet d’orienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutôt que vers la tête et le cou.
Le siège doit être réglé selon les recomm andations de la NHTSA ci-dessus, tout en
conservant le contrôle des pédales et du volant, et la vue des commandes au tableau
de bord.
