AIR BAGS
Air bags
System is designed to maximize the safety
of the front occupants in the event of
violent collisions. It supplements the action
2
of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analysis the front impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
In the case of a serious impact, the air bags
are triggered instantly and protect the front
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or exit of
the occupants. In case of a minor impact,
the air bags will not be triggered; the seat
belt alone is sufficient to provide optimum
protection in these situations.
Seriousness of the impact depends on
the type of obstacle and speed of the
vehicle at impact time.
The air bags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
Note: triggering of the air bag is accompanied
by a slight emission of harmless smoke
which may cause slight irritation.

and side impacts and certain roll-over of the vehicles.
