The front airbags activate during
significant collisions which are
either frontal or up to 30
degrees from the left or the right.
The airbags inflate within a few
thousandths of a second. They will
deflate on contact with the front
occupants thus cushioning forward
body movement.
During minor collisions as well as
overturns and rear or side collisions,
the front airbag system will not be
activated.
WARNINGS
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column and airbag
system should be carried out by
properly trained technicians.
Always keep the areas in front
of the airbags free. Never affix
anything to or over these areas.
These areas should only be wiped
with a damp cloth, never with a wet
cloth.
Side air bags
A label on the seatback indicates that
side airbags are fitted. The side
airbags are fitted on the side of the
seatbacks of the front seats. In case
of a severe lateral collision, the airbag
on the side affected by the collision
will be inflated.
The airbag will inflate between the
door panel and occupant. Once the
occupant’s body contacts the airbag,
the propellant escapes, thereby
cushioning the impact.
