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
| Fig. 1.99. Location of airbag for the driver: the steering wheel

The front airbag for the driver is in the steering wheel (Fig. 1.99
| Fig. 1.100. Place the airbag for the front passenger

) 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.
ATTENTION All work on the air bags and mating areas (such as the seatback cover) must be carried out only by special workshops with the necessary tools and qualified personnel. You can not make any changes to the system of airbags. When nenadetyh a seat belt and improper planting significantly increases the likelihood of serious injury. This risk is further increased when a collision occurs with a strong opening airbags. The maximum protective effect of the side airbags is achieved only when properly put on seat belts and to maintain an adequate landing. |
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.
NOTE When installing the front seat child seat to the position of the child against the direction of movement must be disabled frontal and side airbags for the front passenger. |
