AIRBAGS
General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
theyworkinconjunctionwiththeforce
limitingseatbelts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
theimpactdetectionzones:
- in the event of a serious impact,
theairbagsinateinstantlyand
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbagsdeaterapidly,sothatthey
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
fromthevehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufcienttocontributetowardsyour
protectioninthesesituations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
momentofimpact.
