96) When the ignition key is in and
turned in the MAR-ON position
and the engine is off, the airbags
may deploy if the car is crashed
by another moving vehicle.
Therefore, even if the car is
stationary, when an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO
NOT install rear facing child
restraint systems on the front
passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag following an impact
could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger airbag
when a rear facing child restraint
system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the
child restraint system has been
removed. Also remember that,
if the key is turned to STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in
the event of a collision. Non-
deployment in such cases does
not indicate a system malfunction.

97) When the ignition key is turned
to MAR-ON, the warning light
turns on (front airbag on
passenger's side enabled) and
blinks for a few seconds to remind
that the passenger airbag will
activate in the event of a collision.
Then it turns off.
98) The front airbags deploy in the
event of more severe collisions
than those required for deploying
the pretensioners. When the
impact is between the two
deployment thresholds, it is
normal that pretensioners only are
engaged.
99) The airbag does not replace seat
belts, but increases their
efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed
crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side
bags, only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be
fastened.
