Driver's and passenger air
bags
They are fitted on the driver side and on
the passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word "airbag" on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone 1) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Dispositifs complémentaires à la ceinture avant (X92 - Renault)
(2/4)
Each air bag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and, depending on the vehicle, in the
dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single warning light
– remote sensors.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.
