The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knees air bags) have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard. Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.) is not a system malfunction.

Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the engine from reaching optimal running temperature. Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emissions will increase. Acceleration Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on consumptions and emissions: accelerate gradually. Traffic and road conditions Rather high consumption is caused by heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use of low gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
