Safety

Airbag  

The AIRBAG system comprises an airbag in 
the steering wheel, a front passenger airbag 
and side airbags in the front seats.

The system supplements the protection 
provided by the safety belts to further 
enhance the safety of the occupants.

If a fault is detected in the AIRBAG, the 
AIR BAG warning light on the main instru-
ment panel will come on (see pages 61 
and 37). 

When the system is triggered by impact of a 
frontal crash, the airbags in the steering 
wheel and passenger side of the dash board 
are inflated, after which they deflate through 
vents in the back of the bags. 

The entire process takes less than 
0.1 second – literally, faster than the blink-
ing of an eye.

The driver and passenger airbags are 
referred to as ‘smart’ airbags. This means 
that the system compensates for factors 
such as the force of the collision.

Note:

The sensor reacts differently depending on 
whether or not the front seatbelts on the 
driver’s and passenger sides are used. Sit-
uations can therefore arise where only one 
of the airbags inflates.

It is also possible for only the seatbelt pre-
tensioners to be activated and for the air-
bags to remain uninflated.

These airbags are triggered only by moder-
ate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes. 
They will not be activated by minor front-end 
impacts, rear-end or side impacts, or by the 
car rolling over.

WARNING

To reduce risk of injury:

Always

 wear your safety belt.

Always

 adjust your seat so that you 

are as far back as possible but still 
able to operate the pedals and reach 
the steering wheel and controls com-
fortably.

• Children 12 and under or shorter than 

59 inches (150 cm) should 

always

 

travel in the rear seat as the car is fitted 
with a passenger airbag. 

Never

 fit a child seat in front of the pas-

senger airbag.

IB419

Inflated airbag (driver side) 

Inflation and deflation together take less than 
0.1 second.
