Restraints System - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

If the mirrors have been folded using the power
fold function then the mirrors will stay folded until
placed in the driving position using the power fold
function again.
Door mirror vibration can occur if the mirrors have
been moved manually (folded or unfolded), either
intentionally or accidentally. To reset the linkage
operate the power fold function once to fold or unfold
the mirrors.

Restraints System

The restraints system gives protection to the driver and
passenger in a variety of impact conditions. The system
consists of:
• Driver and passenger safety belts with pre-
tensioners and load limiting systems
• Driver and passenger dual-stage airbags
All of these systems are controlled by a Restraints
Control Module (RCM). In a collision the RCM will
analyse information from various sensors, including
crash and seat occupancy conditions. Based on this
information the RCM will deploy the appropriate
safety devices. During a crash, the RCM may or may
not operate the safety belt pre-tensioners and none,
one, or both stages of the dual-stage airbag
supplemental restraints.
If the pre-tensioners or airbags do not operate in a
collision it does not mean that something is wrong with
the system. Rather, it means the system determined the
accident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.)
were not appropriate to operate these safety devices.
Front airbags are designed to operate only in frontal
and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers, side-impacts,
or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient
longitudinal deceleration.
