The airbags are not deployed in the event

of collisions of low severity (for which the

withholding action of the seat belts is suf-

ficient). For this reason, the seat belt must

be worn at all times. In the case of side

collisions, the seat belts hold occupants in

the correct position and prevent being

thrown out of the car by a very violent

collision.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 14

It consists of an instant-inflating cushion

contained in a special recess in the cen-

tre of the steering wheel.

Do not apply stickers or oth-

er objects on the steering

wheel, passenger side airbag cover or

side upholstery on roof. Do not place

objects on the passenger side dash-

board because these could interfere

with the correct opening of the airbag

(e.g. mobile phones) and cause severe

injury to occupants.

WARNING

In the event of a collision, a person not

wearing a seat belt may be thrown for-

ward and con into contact with the bag

before it has fully opened. The protection

offered by the cushion is reduced in such

a case.

Front air bag may not be activated in the

following situations:

❒

in collisions against highly deformable

objects not affecting the car front sur-

face (e.g. bumper collision against guard

rail, etc.);

❒

jamming of the car underneath other

vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-

derneath a truck or a guard rail); in this

case, the bags would offer no addition-

al protection with respect to the seat

belt and their deployment is unneces-

sary. No deployment in such cases is

consequently not the sign of a fault.
