In addition, both driver and front seat passenger should adjust their seat to provide the maximum practical distance from the front airbags, and also ensure that a gap is maintained between the upper torso and the side ofthe vehicle, to enable unobstructed inflation of the side airbags. In order to provide optimum protection in the event ofa severe impact, itis necessary forthe aithags to deploy with considerable speed. ‘An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuies if the occupant is too close to the aibag a the ime of ts deployment,Airbag SRS HOW THE AIRBAG SRS OPERATES Inthe event ofa collision, the aibag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration of acceleration induced by the callsion, to determine whether the airbags should be deployed. NOTE: The airbag SRS is wot designed 9 operate os a result of rear ‘ollsons, minor fontal or side impacts, orf the ar overturs; nor uli operate as a result of heavy braking or drving over bumps and potholes (Operation ofthe airbag SRS is dependent entirely om the rate at which the car’ passenger compartment changes speed as a result of | A collision. The circumstances affecting diferent collisions (vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size of object hit, for example), vary considerably and will affect the rate of acceleration of deceleration accordingly. Ie follows, therefore, tha significant superficial damage can occur \without the airbags deploying or, conversely, thata relatively small amount of structural damage may cause the airbags to be deployed In the cate ofa severe frontal collision, both front airbags will be deployed. Inthe case ofa severe side collision, only the side airbag, and side head impact protection airbag on the impact side of the vehicle will inflate, However, there may also be impact conditions whereby one set of side and both front airbags deploy atthe same time, of where front and side aibags respond separately as a result of a secondary impact occurring after the inital collision has taken place. An inflating airbag cam cause facial abrasions and other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury by ensuring tha fiont seat occupants are wearing their seat belts and are seated correctly, with the seat as far back az ie practical Asbag inflation is virally instantaneous and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat bee restraint system, limit the movement of a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk of injury tothe head and upper torso. NOTE: Afr inflation, some airbag components are hot - DO NOT. touch until they have cole. When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not an indication of a malfunction, however, the powder may cause invitation to the skin and should be thoroughly flashed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions ofthe skin. Affe inflation, front and side airbags deflate immediately (side head protection asbags deflate slowly), This provides a gradual cushioning effect for the ‘occupant and also ensures that the driver’ forward vision is not obscured. »Airbag SRS Side airbags NOTE: The manufacture and materiale ofthe seat ave rita 19 the ie manta performance ofthe airbag.

INFORMATION’, page 32). Side airbags are designed to protect the thorax region of the torso and will oly deploy in the event ofa severe side impact. They will NOT inflate a a result of frontal or rear impacts only. In the event ofa severe side collision, the airbag on the impact side ‘ofthe car breaks through the seat covering, rapidly inflating to forma cushion between the occupant and the side ofthe car. The airbag on the non-impact side ofthe car will not be deployed Note that a part of the outer side ofthe seat tim (identified by the ‘woven ‘airbag’ label) is specially constructed to enable the airbag 10 deploy 30Airbag SRS Side head pact protection* NOTE: For the side head impact airbags t deploy some, the wef Ting and fone pillar tin mst be undamaged and fitted comet.

While the ol services and inspections have nominal distance and time-related intervals of 15,000 miles ot 12 months, by measuring fuel consumption the cat's monitoring system is also able to asest the owner's driving style and the type of motoring to which the cat is subjected, These additional factors will affect the poine at which the service should be cattied out.
