METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

driver and passenger front
Airbags
These are provided for the driver and
the front passenger seats (location
A ).
The presence of this equipment is indi-
cated by the word “airbag” on the steer-
ing wheel, dashboard (in the area of the
airbag
A ) and, depending on the vehi-
cle, a label on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted on
the steering wheel for the driver and
in the dashboard for the passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a special warning light
å
;
– remote sensors.
The airbag system uses py-
rotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the
airbag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a banging noise. In a situ-
ation where an airbag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of
the driver's head and chest against the
steering wheel and of the front passen-
ger against the dashboard. They then
deflate immediately so that the passen-
gers are not in any way hindered when
leaving the vehicle.
