FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is equipped with multi-stage front airbags (“Smart bags”) for
the driver and passenger and knee bags for the driver.
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM (MULTISTAGE
FRONT AIRBAGS)
The front airbags (driver's and passenger's) and the driver's knee bag
have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by placing cushions between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of impacts (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a system malfunction.
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);
❒
jamming of the car underneath other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. underneath a truck or a guard rail); in this case, the bags
would offer no additional protection with respect to the seat belt and
their deployment would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering
wheel, to the passenger's side air bag cover or on the
roof side lining. Do not place objects on the passenger
side of the dashboard because these could interfere with the
correct opening of the passenger airbag and cause injury to
occupants.

INDEX
The airbags do not replace, but rather complement, the use of seat
belts, which should always be worn. 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 in the opening phase. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.
