General information
This system is designed to improve the safety 
of the occupants of the front seats and the rear 
outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The 
airbags supplement the action of the seat belts 
equipped with a force limiting system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the 
front and side impacts sustained in the impact 
detection zones:
– 
In the event of violent impact, the airbags 
deploy instantly and help better protect the 
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the 
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not 
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the 
occupants.
–
 
In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact 
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags 
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to 
protect you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the 
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 
vehicle at the moment of collision.
The airbags do not operate when the 
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same or a 
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be 
deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed, 
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 
incorporated in the system makes a noise and 
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the 
deployment of one or more airbags may result 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags 
 
This system protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 
limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
They are deployed, except for the front 
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the 
event of a violent front impact applied to all or 
part of front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the chest and 
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and 
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the 
dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion 
their forward movement.

the  airbag.
Vehicles not equipped with a 
deactivation/reactivation control
Installing a "rearward
  facing" child seat on the 
front passenger seat or bench seat is strictly 
prohibited - risk of death or serious injury in 
the event of airbag deployment!
Deactivating/Reactivating the front 
passenger airbag
For vehicles on which it is fitted, the switch is 
located inside the glove box.
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
With the ignition off:
►  T o deactivate the airbag, turn the key in the 
switch to the "OFF " position. 
►
 
T
 o reactivate it, turn the key to the "ON" 
position.
When the ignition is switched on:
This warning lamp comes on and remains  lit to signal deactivation.
Or
This warning lamp comes on for about  1   minute to signal activation.
