46 Seats, interior
When triggered, the airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the d riv er and passenger. The forwa rd
movement of the seat occupants is
check ed, thereb y sub stantially reducing
the risk of injury to the upp er body and
head .
No im pairment of view will occur, because
the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly
that it is often not ev en noticed in an
accident.
The airbag system will not be triggered in
the event of:
z the ignition being switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a sid e or rear impac t
where it would not be of benefit to the
occupants.
