37Airbag system
that the airbag system can only help to protect you if you are wearing your
seat belt and wearing it properly.
Remember too that airbags will deploy only once and only in certain kinds
of accidents - your seat belts are always there to offer protection in those
accidents in which airbags are not supposed to deploy or when they have
already deployed, for example when your vehicle strikes or is struck by an-
other after the first collision.
This is just one of the reasons why an airbag is not a substitute for the seat
belt. The airbag system works most effectively when used with the seat
belts. Therefore, always wear your seat belts correctly.
It is important to remember that while the airbag system is designed to re-
duce the possibility of serious injuries, other injuries, for example, swelling,
bruising, and minor abrasions can also be associated with airbags.
The knee airbag system basically consists of:
The electronic control module
One inflatable airbag (airbag and gas generator) for the driver
An airbag indicator light on the instrument panel
The knee airbag system will not be triggered:
if the ignition is switched off
in frontal collisions when the deceleration measured by the control unit
is too low
in side collisions
in rear-end collisions
in rollovers
in the event of a system malfunction (hazard warning lights/turn signals
illuminated) ⇒ page 65.
WARNING
Seat belts and the airbag system can only provide protection when
occupants are in the proper seating position.
If the airbag indicator light comes on when the vehicle is being used,
have the system inspected immediately by your Authorised Service Cen-
tre. The airbag may not work properly when the vehicle acceleration in a
side collision is high enough to deploy the airbag. See also ⇒ page 65.
How knee airbags work
The risk of injury to the leg area is reduced by fully deployed
knee airbags.
Fig. 22 Inflated airbags
protect in a frontal colli-
sion.
The knee airbag system has been designed so that the airbag for the driver
is deployed in certain but not all frontal collisions.
If the front airbag deploys, the knee airbag also deploys in severe frontal
collisions.
