Airbag System; Front Airbag System - Vauxhall 2012 Agila Owner's Manual

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Notice
The airbag systems and belt
tensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
In the event of airbag deployment
have the steering wheel, the
instrument panel, all panelling parts,
the door seals, the handles and the
seats removed by a workshop.
When the airbags inflate escaping hot
gases may cause burns.
Control indicator v for airbag systems
3 56.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the words SRS AIRBAG.
Seats, restraints
There is also a warning label on the
side of the instrument panel, visible
when the front passenger door is
open.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The forward movement of the front
seat occupants is decelerated,
thereby considerably reducing the
risk of injury to the upper body and
head.
