Driver's knee airbag
Description of the driver's knee airbags
The knee airbag reduces the risk of injury to the legs.
Fig. 124 Driver's knee airbag below the
steering column
The driver's knee airbag is located in the lower part of the dash panel below the
steering column
⇒
fig. 124
. The fitting position is shown in a picture on the side
surface of the dash panel on the driver's side.
The driver's knee airbag is complementary to the three-point seat belt and offers
adequate protection to the knees of the driver.
Please note that an airbag can
only offer you optimal protection in combination with a seat belt which is fas-
tened
.
Apart from their normal protective function, a further task of the
seat belt
is to
also hold the driver in a correct seated position in the event of a frontal collision
so as to enable the knee airbag to offer the maximum protection.
You should therefore always fasten the seat belts, not only because this is re-
quired by law, but also for safety reasons and for your own protection

Function of the driver's knee airbags
The airbag system is designed in such a way that the driver's knee airbag is de-
ployed together with the belt tensioner in the event of a frontal collision of major
severity.
If an airbag is deployed, the airbag is filled with gas. The airbags inflate in frac-
tions of a second and at a high speed in order to be able to offer that additional
protection in the event of an accident.
A grey white, non harmful gas is released when airbag is inflated. This is perfectly
normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it makes contact with the
fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to the legs of the driver is thus reduced.
