WARNING
105)
The front airbags and/or side bags
may be deployed if the car is subject to
heavy knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, pavements
or low obstacles, the car falling in big holes
or dips in the road.
106)
A small amount of dust will be
released when the airbags are deployed.
The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed
bag and the interior of the car may be
covered by a dusty residue: this may
irritate skin and eyes. Wash with mild soap
and water in the event of exposure. Every
control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must only be
carried out at a Dealership. If the car is
scrapped, have the system deactivated at
a Dealership.
107)
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
only be carried out at a Dealership.
108)
If the car is scrapped, have the
system deactivated at a Dealership.
109)
Pretensioners, front airbags and
side bags are deployed according to
different logics on the basis of the type of
collision. Failure to activate one or more of
the devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.
110)
Should an accident occur in which
any of the safety devices are activated,
take the car to a Dealership to have the
activated devices replaced and to have the
whole system checked.
111)
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on
the side upholstery on the 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 airbag and also
cause serious injury to the passengers.
112)
The airbag must be able to inflate
without obstruction in the event of
deployment. It is therefore recommended
not to drive with the body bent forward,
but to sit up resting your back and
shoulders on the backrest of the seat.
Adjusting the position of the seat so that
you can reach and manoeuvre the steering
wheel comfortably with your arms slightly
bent being as far away as possible from
the steering wheel. Being too close to
the steering wheel when the airbag is
deployed may cause serious injury.
113)
When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in a crash
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the collision.
It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.
