Airbag (when fitted)
The airbag system is mechanically
activated and totally self contained
within the steering wheel hub. In the
event of an impact a spherical sensor
moves within a cylinder releasing a
firing pin. This initiates a chemical
reaction, generating a gas (nitrogen)
which inflates the airbag. The whole
sequence of events from sensing the
impact to full inflation of the bag
takes place in a fraction of a second.
As the occupant restrained by the seat
belt moves forward the head and
chest come into contact with the
inflated bag which then deflates in a
controlled manner, via vent holes in
the rear of the bag, to absorb the
remaining energy of the impact.
The airbag is designed to inflate in
severe frontal collisions. It will not
deploy at very low speeds or in side
and rear impacts. Protection in these
instances is provided by the seat belts.
The severity of the collision is a
function of the relative speed and
weights of the vehicle or objects
colliding.
The noise and gas associated with the
deployment of the bag are not
hazardous to health.
Note: No objects whatsoever should be
attached to the centre cover of the
steering wheel or the dashboard.
All work on the airbag system
including replacement after
deployment and replacement at the
end of its service life must be carried
out by an authorised Morgan Dealer.
The airbag label fitted to the vehicle
contains the following statement:
