When aare tthe AAir BBags aactivated?
The Air Bag system is designed so that
the driver’s side Air Bag and Passenger’s
side Air Bag are triggered in case of a
serious ffrontal ccollision
.
In a
serious sside-on ccollision
, the cor-
responding side
1)
Air Bag is triggered.
In ccertain kkinds oof aaccidents, bboth tthe
front aand tthe sside
1)
Air BBags ccould bbe
triggered.
The Air Bag system
will nnot bbe ttriggered
in case of light frontal and lateral colli-
sions, rear collisions and
overturning
. In
these cases, the vehicles occupants are
protected in the conventional way by the
seat belts.
It is not possible to define globally when
exactly the Air Bag system will be trig-
gered given that the circumstances of
each impact may vary enormously.
During inflation, the Air Bag emits a fine
dust. This is quite normal and there is no
fire risk.

This equipment may vary according to the
country.
Frontal AAir BBag
1)
When the system is triggered, the bags
are inflated by gas opening in front of the
driver and passenger.
The Air Bag inflation is considerably rapid
and takes fractions of a second, to offer
the best protection in the case of an acci-
dent.
