DRIVING YOUR 306
AIRBAGS* The airbag system has been designed to maximise the safety ofthe occupants in the event of seriouscollisions. It works in conjunction withthe seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle; if the triggering threshold isreached the airbags inflate instantlyand come between the occupants andthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIRBAGS* These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.They are deployed simultaneously(except in cases where the airbag isdisarmed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
DISARMING THE
PASSENGER AIRBAG*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger airbag when you install arearwards-facing child seat on thefront passenger seat.
Remove the ignition key, insert it into the passenger airbag switch
1and
turn it to the Ò OFFÓ position.
One of these two warninglights* on the instrument panel
is lit throughout the disarmingprocedure.
