Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving  the  safety  of  the  occupants  (with Â
t
he  exception  of  the  rear  centre  passenger) Â
i
n  the  event  of  violent  collisions.  The  airbags Â
s
upplement  the  action  of  the  seat  belts  fitted Â
w
ith  force  limiters  (all  except  the  centre  rear Â
p
assenger
 b
elt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record
 and  analyse  the  front  and  side  impacts Â
s
ustained  in  the  impact  detection  zones:
-
Â
i
n  the  case  of  a  serious  impact,  the  airbags Â
a
re deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of
 the  vehicle  (with  the  exception  of  the Â
r
ear  centre  passenger);  immediately  after Â
t
he  impact,  the  airbags  deflate  rapidly  so Â
t
hat  they  do  not  hinder  visibility  or  the  exit Â
o
f the occupants,
-
Â
i
n  the  case  of  a  minor  or  rear  impact  or  in Â
c
ertain  roll-over  conditions,  the  airbags Â
m
ay  not  be  deployed;  the  seat  belt Â
a
lone  contributes  towards  ensuring  your Â
p
rotection  in  these  situations.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact  zone.
B. S ide  impact  zone.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
Â
equipment
Â
will
Â
only
Â
deploy
Â
once.
Â
I
f
Â
a
Â
second
Â
impact
Â
occurs
Â
(during
Â
the
Â
s
ame
Â
or
Â
a
Â
subsequent
Â
accident),
Â
the
Â
a
irbag
Â
will
Â
not
Â
be
Â
deployed
Â
again.
Deployment of  one  or  more  of  the Â
a
irbags  is  accompanied  by  a  slight Â
e
mission  of  smoke  and  a  noise,  due Â
t
o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
 incorporated  in  the  system.
This
 smoke  is  not  harmful,  but  sensitive Â
i
ndividuals  may  experience  slight Â
ir
ritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment
 of  one  or  more  airbags  may Â
r
esult  in  a  slight  loss  of  hearing  for  a Â
s
hort  time.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's  front  airbag  if  it  is  deactivated,  in  the e
vent  of  a  serious  front  impact  to  all  or  part  of  the
 f
ront  impact  zone  A,
 in  the  longitudinal  centreline
 o
f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from
 the  front  to  the  rear  of  the  vehicle.
The
 front  airbag  inflates  between  the  thorax  and
 h
ead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering
 wheel,  driver's  side,  and  the  dashboard,
 p
assenger's  side  to  cushion  their  for ward
