Airbags

The deployment of airbags happens in a split second at high speed. It is therefore important that the driver and all passengers are kept throughout the trip proper fit.

Emergency braking before the collision leads to the fact that the passenger unfastened abruptly leans forward in the area of disclosure of an inflatable pillow. This inevitably results in a very serious injury, death or dangerous. This is the same as applies to children.

The protective effect of airbags determined by the type of accident, the direction of impact and the speed of the car.

Crucial to trigger the airbags is recorded by the control unit vehicle deceleration. If the collision deceleration is less than a certain predetermined value, the front, side and curtain airbags are not disclosed. Therefore, not every collision may lead to the disclosure of airbags.

Front airbags

The front airbag for the driver is in the steering wheel (Fig. 1.99

) And the front passenger - a front panel (Fig. 1.100). Pillows marked the inscription "AIRBAG?�.

Front airbags with seat belts protect the head and upper body of the driver and front passenger in frontal collisions.

In addition to its primary function of protecting belts ensures that the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision, in which the effectiveness of the protective effect of the airbag is maximized.

Airbags do not replace seat belts and are an integral part of the overall restraint system.

The system front airbags includes:

- Electronic control unit;

- Two front airbags (air bag and a gas generator);

- The indicator light in the instrument panel.

The efficiency of air bags is under constant control. When the ignition warning light comes on for a few seconds (self-test).

The system is faulty when the warning lamp:

- When the ignition begins to burn;

- Four seconds after the ignition is not extinguished;

- After the ignition is off and the lights up again;

- While driving or flickering lights.

Front airbags are not disclosed when:

- Ignition is switched off;

- Light frontal impacts;

- Light side impacts;

- Blows to the back of the car;

- Flip the car.

Action front airbags

System airbags triggered by a severe frontal impact with a threat of injury to the driver and front passenger.

In certain types of accidents disclosed front and side airbags and inflatable side curtains.

When the system is activated air bags pillows filled with special gas and disclosed. When fully disclosed in the palm cushions the energy of forward movement of the driver and front passenger is extinguished, and the probability of injury is reduced.

Under the influence of the load of the weight of bodies is a controlled release of gas from the cushion to soften the blow of the head and upper body. After the collision, the air bag becomes so empty, that does not interfere with forward vision.

The filling of the air bag occurs at a high speed in a matter of seconds, and that provides reliable protection. When emptying the air bag appears a little dust. This is quite normal and can not be a cause for concern.

Covers air bag modules to deploy airbags revealed (Fig. 1.101). When this lid remain fixed to the steering wheel and the front panel.

Side airbags

The side airbags are located in the driver's seat (Fig. 1.102) and in the other seats. Placements side airbags marked the inscription "AIRBAG?� at the top of the seatback cover.

Side airbags with seat belts provides additional protection to the upper body of the driver and passengers in side collisions.

Side impact decreases the likelihood of injury, driver and front passenger side impact. In addition to its primary function of protecting belts ensures that the driver and passengers in the outer seats in a side impact, in which the effectiveness of the protective effect of airbags maximum.

Side airbags are not disclosed when:

- Ignition is switched off;

- Light side impacts;

- Light frontal impacts;

- Blows to the back of the car;

- Flip the car.

The side air bags includes:

- Electronic control unit;

- Side airbags on the outer sides of the front and rear seats;

- The indicator light in the instrument panel.

The efficiency of air bags is under constant control. When the ignition warning light comes on for a few seconds (self-test).

Action side airbags

Side airbags are revealed when a severe side impact on the side of the strike (Fig. 1.103).

In certain types of accidents disclosed front, side and curtain airbags.

When the system is activated air bags are filled with a special gas cushions.

The filling of the air bag occurs at a high speed in a matter of seconds, and that provides reliable protection. When emptying the air bag appears a little dust. This is quite normal and can not be a cause for concern.

When fully disclosed in the palm cushions the energy of motion of the driver and the passenger is extinguished, and the probability of injury is reduced.

Under the influence of the load of the weight of bodies is a controlled release of gas from the cushion to soften the blow of the head and upper body.

Windowbags

Window cushions on both sides of the vehicle above the door (Fig. 1.104), and their location is indicated by the inscription ?�AIRBAG?�.

Window cushions with seat belts provides additional protection to the upper body of the driver and passengers in side collisions.

System window airbags includes:

- Electronic control unit;

- Window airbags (air bag and a gas generator) for the driver, front

the passenger and the passengers on the outer rear seats;

- The indicator light in the instrument panel.

The efficiency of air bags is under constant control.

Window cushions are not disclosed when:

- Ignition is switched off;

- Frontal collisions;

- Blows to the back of the car;

- Flip the car;

- Light side crashes.

Action window airbags

Window airbags disclosed during a severe side impact on the side of the strike.

In certain types of accidents disclosed front, side and curtain airbags.

When the system is activated air bags are filled with a special gas cushions. In this window airbags cover the area of the side windows and body pillar.

The filling of the air bag occurs at a high speed in a matter of seconds, and that provides reliable protection. When emptying the air bag appears a little dust. This is quite normal and can not be a cause for concern.

When the palm fully disclosed the curtains the energy of motion of the driver and passengers is extinguished, and the probability of injury is reduced.

Under the influence of the load of the weight of bodies is a controlled release of gas from the cushion to soften the blow of the head and upper body.

Disabling front and side airbags for front passengers

When disabled Front airbags for the front passenger airbag is switched off and the side. All other air bags and curtains remain operational.

Turning off the front airbags

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the ignition switch to the special center console in a position perpendicular to the direction of movement (Fig. 1.105).

Make sure that when the ignition control lamp ?�PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF?� in the center console (Fig. 1.106) is steady.

The reverse inclusion pillows

Switch off the ignition.

Turn the ignition switch to the special center console switch in the direction of movement.

Make sure that when the ignition control lamp ?�PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF?� in the center console is not illuminated.

Isofix child seat with the help of ?�ISOFIX?�

When installing or removing a child armchair necessarily refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

- Slide the front passenger seat in the longitudinal direction all the way back.

- Fit the child seat in the eye "ISOFIX?� to audible sound fixation armchair in the eyes.

- To check the reliability of fastening try to pull it out, taking the seat on both sides.

Two lugs ?�ISOFIX?� are at the outer rear seats and the right front seat. Ears ?�ISOFIX?� are attached to the body. They are located between the seatback and seat cushion (Fig. 1.107).
