Airbag system
3-6 Seating and safety restraints
Airbag system
General information
The airbag for the driver ( 1 ) is located in
the padded hub of the steering wheel. The
airbag for the passenger (
2 ) is located on
the dashboard. These are indicated by the
word
AIRBAG on the trim.
Provided the occupants are correctly
seated and the seat belts are properly
worn, the airbags provide additional
protection to the chest and face of the
occupants in the event of a severe frontal
impact.
Note: Airbags inflate and deflate very
quickly and will not protect occupants
against the effects of secondary impacts
that may occur.
How the system works
WARNING: The airbags are a
supplemental restraint system
providing additional protection in certain
types of collisions only - they do not
replace the need to wear a seat belt.
▲
Operation of the airbag system depends
on the rate at which your vehicle's
passenger compartment changes speed
as a result of a collision.
In the event of a collision, the airbag
control unit monitors the rate of
deceleration induced by the collision to
determine whether the airbags should be
deployed.
When deployed, airbags inflate instantly,
with considerable force accompanied by a
loud noise. The inflated airbag, together
with the seat belt, limit the movement of
the occupants, thereby reducing the risk
of injury to the head and upper torso.

The airbag system is not designed to
operate as a result of:
•
Rear collisions
•
Minor front impacts
•
Minor side impacts
•
Heavy braking
•
Driving over bumps or potholes
It follows, therefore, that significant
superficial damage can occur without the
air bags deploying or, conversely, that a
relatively small amount of structural
damage can cause the airbags to be
deployed.
Obstruction of airbags
WARNING: Do not allow passengers
to obstruct the operation of the
airbags by placing feet, knees or any other
part of the body, or any other objects in
contact with, or in close proximity to, an
airbag module.
▲
WARNING: Do not attach or position
items on an airbag cover which
could interfere with the inflation of the
airbag or be propelled inside your vehicle
and injure occupants.
