METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/6)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbag(s)
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of
the driver's head and chest against the
steering wheel and of the front passen-
ger against the dashboard. They then
deflate immediately so that the passen-
gers are not in any way hindered when
leaving the vehicle.
The airbag system uses py-
rotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the
airbag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a banging noise. In a situ-
ation where an airbag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec-
onds.
If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible;
Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.
