airbag syst
em giv
es the driv
er and the front
passenger additional protection for the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision. Always remains as far away as possible
from the front airbag. This way, in the event of
an accident, the front airbags can deploy
fully when triggered, providing maximum pro-
tection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in the
steering wheel

Fig. 27 and the airbag for
the front passenger is located in the dash
panel
