SAFETY DEVICES

The front air bag is triggered
for shocks greater in magni-

tude than the pretensioners. For im-
pacts between these two thresholds,
it is therefore normal that only the
pretensioners are triggered.

WARNING

When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning

light

(with passenger’s front Air

bag on) turns on and flashes for few
seconds to remind that the passen-
ger’s air bag will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.

WARNING

Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even

with the engine not running, the air
bags may be triggered on a stationary
car if it is bumped by another moving
car. Therefore, never seat children on
the front seat even when the car is
stationary. On the other hand, re-
member that with the key at STOP
no safety system (air bags or preten-
sioners) is triggered in the event of an
impact; in this case, failure to come
into action cannot be considered as a
sign that the system is not working
properly.
