individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect

Deployment

They deploy, except the front passenger airbag if

it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front

impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.

The front airbag inflates between the thorax and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the

steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,

passenger's side, to cushion their forward

movement.

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all or

part of the side impact zone B.

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact

applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.

The curtain airbag inflates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

Central airbag

Malfunction

This system protects the front occupants in the

event of a serious side impact in order to limit the

risk of head injury.

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have

the system checked.

Lateral airbags

The central airbag is integrated into the driver's

seat backrest frame, on the centre console side.

It deploys simultaneously with the lateral airbag

in the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone B.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a

serious impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Curtain airbags

System contributing towards greater protection

for the driver and passengers (with the exception

of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a

serious side impact in order to limit the risk of

injury to the side of the head.
