AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front air bags for driver and

passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger

chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,

where provided) and window bags for protecting the

heads of front occupants.

FRONT AIR BAGS

The front (driver and passenger) air bags protect the

front seat occupants in the event of head-on impacts

of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between

the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Therefore non-deployment in other types of impacts

(side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not

indicate a system malfunction.

Front (driver and passenger) air bags are not a

replacement of but complementary to the seat belts,

which you are recommended to always wear, as

specified by law in Europe and most non-European

countries.

In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat

belt move forwards and may come into contact with

the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered

by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.

Front airbags may not deploy in the following

situations:

❒ frontal impacts against highly deformable objects

not involving the front surface of the car (e.g.

wing collision against guard rail, etc.);

❒ car wedging under other vehicles or protective

barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);

they may not provide any additional protection

compared with seat belts, so their activation would

be inappropriate. In these cases, non-deployment

does not indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not apply stickers or other objects

on the steering wheel, on the dashboard

in the passenger side air bag area, on side

upholstery on roof and on the seats. Never put

objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's

side dashboard since they could interfere with

correct inflation of the air bag and also cause

serious injury to the passengers.

Driver's front air bag

This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in

a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel
