Safety
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed,
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact,
limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is tted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
tted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
They are deployed, except for the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the
event of a violent front impact applied to all or
part of front impact zone A.
The front airbag inates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the
dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion
their forward movement.
When driving, keep the storage
compartment closed. Otherwise, there is
a risk of injury in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.
