FRONT AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front air bags for the
driver, for the passenger and with driver's
knees air bag (where provided).
The front driver / passenger air bags and
Isofix position
the driver's knees air bag (where provid-
side rear
ed) have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on crashes of
IL
medium-high severity, by placing the cush-
ion between the occupant and the steer-
IL
ing wheel or dashboard.
IL
Front air bags are designed to protect
car's occupants in front crashes and there-
IL
fore non-activation in other types of col-
lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
IL
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
IL
In case of crash, an electronic control unit,
when required, triggers the inflation of the
IUF cushion. The cushion immediately inflates,
placing itself as a protection between the
IUF
body of the front occupants and the struc-
ture that could cause injuries. Immediate-
IUF
ly after, the cushion deflates.
The front driver / passenger air bags and
the driver's knees air bag (where provid-
ed) are not a replacement of but comple-
mentary to the use of belts, which should
always be worn, as specified by law in Eu-
rope and most non European countries.
