the bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore, non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
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 a collision, 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 vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
when the vehicle is wedged under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under a lorry or a guardrail);
Failure to deploy in the conditions
described above is due to the fact
that the airbags 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 driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts. At
their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver 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 impact, they ensure
the correct positioning of the occupant.
