METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Force limiter
Above a certain level of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it
is at an acceptable level.
Driver and passenger airbags
An airbag may be provided for both
the driver and the front passenger.
The marking “Airbag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard, and
a label on the lower part of the
windscreen indicate that the
vehicle is equipped with airbags.
The passenger airbag protects the
front passenger(s) (according to
whether there is a conventional
seat or a bench seat in the front).
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger;
- a computer for both systems,
which includes the impact sensor
and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
- a single warning light on
the instrument panel.
