The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the
pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds, it is therefore normal
that only the pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
WARNING
The air bag does not substitute the seat belts, but only increases their effectiveness. Moreover,
since the front air bags do not come into operation in the event of front impact at low speed,
side collisions, bumps from behind or overturning, in these circumstances the occupants would
only be protected by the seat belts which must therefore always be fastened.
WARNING Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.
