Airbag system
WARNING
The PreCrash system cannot overcome the
limits imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Risks
that compromise safety are never justified
by the use of this system. The system is not
a replacement for driver awareness and
cannot prevent a collision.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
the visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
●
The system is not always able to recognise
objects.
●
The system may not react to people or
animals or objects that cross length-wise or
that are hard to detect.
●
Metallic objects (e.g. fences) or other el-
ements of the public road or adverse
weather conditions can hinder its opera-
tion and thus its ability to detect collision
risk.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps that light
up or the messages shown on the dash-
board.
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries.
●
Never change settings on the Infotain-
ment System while driving.
Airbag system
Brief introduction
Why is it so important to wear a seat
belt and to sit correctly?
For the inflating airbags to achieve the best
prot
ection, the seat belt must always be
worn properly and the correct sitting posi-
tion must be assumed.
The airbag system is not a substitute for seat
belts, but it is an integral part of the vehicle's
overall passive safety system. Please bear in
mind that the airbag system can only work
effectively when the vehicle occupants are
wearing their seat belts correctly and have
adjusted the head restraints properly. There-
fore, it is most important to properly wear
the seat belts at all times, not only because
this is required by law in most countries, but
also for your safety

page 16, The whys
and wherefores of seat belts.
The airbag inflates in a matter of seconds, so
if you are not properly seated when the air-
bag is triggered, you may sustain fatal inju-
ries. Therefore, it is essential that all vehicle
occupants assume a correct sitting position
while travelling.
Sharp braking before an accident may cause
a passenger not wearing a seat belt to be
thrown forward into the area of the deploy-
ing airbag. In this case, the inflating airbag
may inflict critical or f
atal injuries on the oc-
cupant. This also applies to children.
Always maintain the greatest possible dis-
tance between yourself and the front airbag.
This way, the front airbags can completely
deploy when triggered, providing their maxi-
mum protection.
The most important factors for triggering the
airbag are the type of accident, the angle of
impact and the vehicle speed.
Whether or not the airbags are activated de-
pends primarily on the vehicle deceleration
rate resulting from the collision and detected
by the control unit. If the vehicle decelera-
tion occurring during the collision and meas-
ured by the control unit remains below the
specified reference values, the front, side
and/or curtain airbags will not be triggered.
Take into account that the visible damage in
a vehicle involved in an accident, no matter
how serious, is not a determining factor for
the airbags to have been activated.
WARNING
●
Wearing the seat belt incorrectly or as-
suming an incorrect sitting position can
lead to critical or fatal injuries.
●
All vehicle occupants, including children,
who are not properly belted can sustain
critical or fatal injuries if the airbag is
