Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI-
GENTS conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applicables
aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). L'ensemble de capteurs de
coussins gonflables (ECU) régule le déploiement des coussins gon-
flables sur la base des informations qu'il reçoit des capteurs, etc., indi-
qués ci-dessus dans le schéma illu strant les composants du système.
Parmi ces informations figurent la gravité du choc et l'occupation du
véhicule par les passagers. Le d éploiement rapide des coussins gon-
flables est obtenu au moyen d'une réac tion chimique dans les disposi-
tifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant d'amortir
le mouvement des occupants.
