occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front airbags are not a replacement of
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt could move forward
and come into contact with a bag
which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in
these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the car (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail);
car wedging under other vehicles
or safety barriers (e.g. trucks or guard
rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact
that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with
seat belts, so their activation would
be inappropriate. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
The front airbags (driver, passenger,
driver's knee bags) are designed
and calibrated to protect front seat
passengers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of
maximum inflation fills most of the
space between the steering wheel and
the driver, between the lower post
guard and the knees on passenger side
and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient).
Seat belts must always be worn. In the
event of a frontal collision, they ensure
the correct positioning of the occupant.
Driver's side front airbag

This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel fig. 82.

Passenger front airbag
This consists of an instantly
inflating bag contained in a special
compartment in the dashboard fig. 83:
this bag has a larger volume than the
driver's.

Passenger's front airbag and child
restraint systems
102)
Rearward facing child restraint systems
must NEVER be fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger side
airbag since, in the event of a crash,
the airbag activation could cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions
on the label on the passenger side sun
visor (fig. 84 and fig. 85).
