Airbags - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Airbags

Supplemental Restraints System
The vehicle is equipped with driver and front passenger airbags. The
airbags and seat belt pre tensioners are electrically controlled by the
restraints system (Refer to 'Restraints System', page 3.10).
The front airbags (A) only deploy in a serious frontal collision. The
side airbags (B (one airbag in each front seat)) only deploy according
to which side has been impacted in a serious side collision.
The purpose of the driver and front
passenger airbags is to provide additional
protection for the front seat occupants in
the event of a serious impact (frontal or
side impacts). The airbags are
supplementary to the seat belts.
A
Important airbag safety labels are located on the sun visors and on the
end of the instrument panel (passenger side). Make sure that the
instructions on these labels are read and complied with prior to
driving the vehicle.
Airbag Deployment
Warning: The use of accessory seat covers may prevent the
A
deployment of the side airbags and increase the risk of injury in
an accident. Do not use accessory seat covers.
Warning: All occupants, including the driver, should always
wear seat belts, whether or not an airbag is provided, to
decrease the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.
Warning: No objects whatsoever should be attached to the
centre cover of the steering wheel or the front passenger fascia
panel. Such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the airbags to deploy.
