Airbags
Systemdesignedtocontributetowards
improvingthesafetyoftheoccupants(with
theexceptionoftherearcentrepassenger)
intheeventofviolentcollisions.Theairbags
supplementtheactionoftheforce-limiting
seatbelts(withtheexceptionoftherearcentre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustainedintheimpactdetectionzones:
- inthecaseofaseriousimpact,theairbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
ofthevehicle(withtheexceptionofthe
rearcentrepassenger);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roll-over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.
Deployment of one or more of the
airbagsisaccompaniedbyaslight
emissionofsmokeandanoise,due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridgeincorporatedinthesystem.
Thissmokeisnotharmful,butsensitive
individualsmayexperienceslight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deploymentofoneormoreairbagsmay
resultinaslightlossofhearingfora
shorttime.
Impact detection zones
