Safety
Lateral airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the
driver and front passenger in the event of a
serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to
the chest, between the abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is mounted in the seat
backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
– in the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seat in row 2);
immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
– in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not
be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes
towards ensuring your protection in these
situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed,
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the roof.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front
passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front towards the rear of
the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the
dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion
their forward movement.
When driving , keep the glove box
closed. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury
in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
