Safety
as the properties of the object the vehicle hits
(hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle speed,
etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag activa-
tion.
The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
tory and activates the respective restraint sys-
tem.
If the deceleration rate is below the predened
reference value in the control unit the airbags
will not be triggered, even though the accident
may cause extensive damage to the car.
The following airbags are triggered in serious
head-on collisions:
●
Driver airbag.
●
Front passenger front airbag
●
Head airbags.
In the event of serious side collisions, some
(or all) of the following airbags can be acti-
vated (depending on the severity of the col-
lision):
●
Head airbags.
●
Front side airbag on the side of the accident.
●
Central airbag.
In an accident with airbag activation:
●
the interior lights switch on (if the interior
light switch is in the courtesy light position);
●
the hazard warning lights switch on;
●
all doors are unlocked;
●
the high voltage system is switched o;
●
an emergency call is started.
Airbag system control lamps
Lights up on the instrument cluster
Fault in the airbag system and seat belt
tensioners. Have the system checked im-
mediately by a specialised workshop.
Lights up on the instrument cluster
Airbag or belt tensioner system deacti-
vated by a diagnostic tester. Contact a
specialised workshop and get it to check
whether the airbag or belt tensioner sys-
tem should remain deactivated.
Lights up on the roof console
Front passenger airbag deactivated.
Check if the airbag should be kept deacti-
vated.
Lights up on the roof console
Front passenger airbag activated. The
control lamp turns o automatically 60
seconds after the ignition is switched on.
Several warning and control lamps light up for a
few seconds when the ignition is switched on,
signalling that the function is being veried.
They will switch o after a few seconds.
If the airbag and seat belt tensioner system
control lamp remains on or ashes, it indi-
cates a malfunction in the airbag and seat belt
tensioner system ››› . Have the system
checked immediately by a specialised work-
shop.
If the front passenger airbag has been deacti-
vated, the warning lamp
remains lit on
the roof console to remind you that the airbag
is deactivated. If, with the front passenger air-
bag deactivated, this lamp does not remain
lit or if it is lit along with the control lamp
on the instrument cluster, there is a fault in
the airbag system ››› . If the control lamp is
ashing, there is a fault in the disabling of the
airbag system ››› . Have the system checked
immediately by a specialised workshop.
WARNING
In the event of a fault in the airbag and seat
belt tensioner system, the airbags and seat
belts may not trigger correctly, may fail to
trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly.
●
The vehicle occupants run the risk of sus-
taining severe or fatal injuries. Have the sys-
tem checked immediately by a specialised
workshop.
