Therefore, failure to come into action<br />
in the above circumstances does<br />
not mean that the system is not working<br />
properly.<br />
Airbag system efficiency is constantly<br />
monitored by an electronic control<br />
unit.<br />

FRONT AIRBAG<br />
PASSENGER SIDE<br />
The passenger’s front airbag has been<br />
designed and calibrated to improve the<br />
protection of a person wearing seat<br />
belts.<br />
At its maximum inflation, its volume<br />
fills most of the space between the<br />
dashboard and the passenger.<br />
WARNING<br />
With passenger’s air bag<br />
active, never place child’s<br />
seats with the cradle facing backwards<br />
since the air bag activation<br />
could cause to the child serious injuries,<br />
even mortal, regardless of the<br />
seriousness of the crash that triggered<br />
it. You are advised to carry<br />
children always with proper restraint<br />
systems on the rear seats, as<br />
this is the most protected position<br />
in the case of a crash.<br />
WARNING<br />
SERIOUS DANGER If it is<br />
absolutely necessary to carry<br />
a child on the front passenger<br />
seat with the cradle<br />
child’s seat facing backwards,<br />
the front passenger’s air bag<br />
must be deactivated using the key<br />
switch. In this case it is absolutely<br />
necessary to check the warning<br />
light F (see paragraph “Passenger’s<br />
front air bag”) to make sure<br />
that deactivation has actually taken<br />
place.<br />
