Understanding the Vehicle
• Passenger advanced front air bag;
• Supplemental Window Air Bags
(WAB);
• Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioner and seat
belt buckle switch;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut power
from the battery; it is located on the
positive battery terminal.
WARNING!
The air bag is not a substitute for the
seat belts. Correct use of the seat
belts, in combination with the air bag,
will offer protection for the driver and
passenger in the front seat in the
event of a head-on collision.
Advanced Front Air bags
Properties
The advanced front air bag system has
multistage driver and front passenger
air bags. This system provides air bag
inflation rates which are appropriate
to the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
The airbag system must be ready
to protect you in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with
electrical Air Bag System Components
listed below:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC);
• Airbag Warning light on the
instrument cluster;
• Steering Wheel and Column;
• Instrument Cluster;
• Driver advanced front air bag;
• Passenger advanced front air bag;
• Supplemental Window Air Bags
(WAB);
• Front and side impact sensors;
• Front seat belt pretensioner;
• Seat belt buckle switch;
• Pyrotechnical charge to cut the
power from the battery: it is located
on the positive battery terminal.
The electronic control unit provides
for the activation of the pretensioner,
front air bags or side air bags based
on different criteria, according to the
type of impact. Failure of one or more
systems to activate is not indicative of
a system malfunction.
NOTE:
The front and/or lateral air bags may
inflate if the vehicle suffers a violent
impact involving the underbody area,
for example in case of violent impacts
against steps, sidewalks, speed bumps,
or when the vehicle falls into potholes,
or similar.
WARNING!
No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any
such objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the air bag to inflate.
WARNING!
Do not put anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to open
them manually. You may damage
the air bags and you could be injured
because the air bags may no longer be
functional. The protective covers for
the air bag are designed to open only
when the air bags are inflating.
