When are the Air Bags activated?
The Air Bag system is designed so that the driver's side Air Bag
and Passenger's side Air Bag are triggered in case of a s s e e r r i i o o u u s s

the vehicles occupants are protected in the conventional way by
the seat belts.
It is not possible to define globally when exactly the Air Bag system
will be triggered given that the circumstances of each impact may
vary enormously.
During inflation, the Air Bag emits a fine dust. This is quite normal
and there is no fire risk.

Description of front airbags
When the system is triggered, the bags are inflated by gas opening
in front of the driver and passenger.
The Air Bag inflation is considerably rapid and takes fractions of a
second, to offer the best protection in the case of an accident.
