FRONT AIRBAGS The front airbags (driver's, passenger's, driver's knees air bags) have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard. Front air bags are designed to protect car's occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc. ) is not a system malfunction. An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the event of a frontal crash. The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupant's body and the structures which could cause injury. The front airbags (driver's, passenger's, driver's knees air bags) are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries. The airbags are not deployed in the event of front collisions of low severity (for which the withholding action of the seat belts is sufficient). In the event of frontal crash they ensure the correct positioning of the occupant. 75 INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills most space between the steering wheel and the driver, between the lower post guard and the knees on passenger side and between the dashboard and the passenger. IN AN EMERGENCY they could not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their activation would be improper. No deployment in such cases is consequently not the sign of a fault. The front airbags (driver's, passenger's, driver's knees air bags) are designed and calibrated to protect the front seat passengers who wear the safety belts. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES car penetration under other vehicles or protective barriers (e. g. trucks or guard rails); CORRECT USE OF THE CAR in collisions against highly deformable objects not affecting the car front surface (e. g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc. ); SAFETY DEVICES Front air bags may not be activated in the following situations: YOUR CAR AIRBAGS In the event of a collision, a person not wearing a seat belt may be thrown forward and come into contact with the bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by the cushion is reduced in such a case. WARNING Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on side upholstery on roof and on the seats. cell phones) on the passenger side dashboard because these could interfere with the correct opening of the airbag and cause severe injury to occupants. fig. 12 It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
