Airbags
AIRBAGS
General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-
in the event of a serious impact,
the airbags inflate instantly and
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to contribute towards your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.
