System of inflatable pillows of safety
THE GENERAL DATA

Forward inflatable pillows of safety

The system of forward inflatable pillows together with three-dot seat belts gives дополнитель ную protection of a head and the top part of a body of the driver and the passenger on forward sitting in case of serious face-to-face collisions.
The prevention

The maximum protective action of seat belts and inflatable pillows is reached only at correct adjustment of seats.


The system of forward inflatable pillows of safety does not work at:

 – Lateral blows,
 – Blows in a back part of the car,
 – Overturning,
 – Weak face-to-face blows.

The system of inflatable pillows of safety at all is not replacement to seat belts, and represents an essential component of the general concept of passive safety of the car. Please, remember that the greatest efficiency of action of inflatable pillows of safety is reached only at joint action with the put on seat belts.

The system of inflatable pillows of safety consists of following basic knots and details:

 – An electronic control mean system and the control of functional readiness of system (the management block);
 – Two inflatable pillows of safety (air bags with газогенератором) for:
   • the driver (in a steering wheel),
   • the forward passenger (in the panel of devices);
 – A control lamp on a combination of devices.

Functional readiness of system of inflatable pillows is supervised by the electronic device.

After each inclusion of ignition the control lamp of system of inflatable pillows of safety lights up approximately on 3 seconds (self-examination).

The following testifies to infringement of functional readiness of system:

 – At ignition inclusion the control lamp does not light up,
 – Approximately in 3 seconds after ignition inclusion the control lamp does not die away,
 – After ignition inclusion the control lamp dies away and then again starts to be shone,
 – During movement the control lamp is shone or flickers.


The prevention

When infringement of functional readiness of system is noted, it is necessary to check up necessarily system in the service enterprise a Volkswagen. Otherwise there is a danger that in case of need, inflatable pillows will not work properly.


System action

The system of inflatable pillows is designed in such a manner that it works in case of strong face-to-face collisions.

The sizes of sector of a direction of face-to-face collision at which there is a system operation, are presented in drawing.

At system operation air bags are filled with working gas and, being inflated, are developed before the driver and the passenger.

At an emphasis of the driver and the forward passenger in completely надутые air bags movement of their bodies by inertia forward is extinguished, and the risk of reception by them of head injuries and the top part of a body essentially decreases.

The air bag is designed in such a manner that at face-to-face blow under the influence of loading from a body of the driver or the passenger sitting near to it there is a controllable release of gas from a pillow for softening of blow of a head and the top part of a body about an inflatable pillow. After collision the air bag becomes so empty that does not disturb to the forward review.

Filling of an air bag occurs to high speed in считанные fractions of a second, as provides reliable protection at failure.

At надувании safety pillows in salon appears a few fine dust. It is quite normal, and cannot serve as the reason for anxiety.

Switching-off of an inflatable pillow of safety for the forward passenger

On your car it is possible to disconnect an inflatable pillow of safety for the forward passenger for example when to the place of the forward passenger the children's seat with position of the child by a back in the direction of travel is established.

Functional readiness of system of inflatable pillows of safety is supervised by means of electronic devices and at the disconnected pillow for the forward passenger.

After each inclusion of ignition the control lamp of system of inflatable pillows of safety приблизитель but for 3 seconds lights up and then (self-examination) starts to blink within 12 seconds.

The following testifies to infringement of functional readiness of system:

 – At ignition inclusion the control lamp does not light up or does not blink,
 – After ignition inclusion the control lamp on the expiration of above-stated time does not die away,
 – After ignition inclusion the control lamp dies away and then again starts to be shone,
 – During movement the control lamp is shone, flickers or blinks.

Lateral pillows of safety
Lateral pillows of safety are placed in pillows of a back of lobbies sitting and you can identify them on an inscription "AIRBAG" in the top part of the back party of backs of seats.

The system of lateral inflatable pillows together with three-dot seat belts gives additional protection of the top part of a body of the driver and the passenger on forward sitting in case of serious lateral collisions.

The system of lateral inflatable pillows of safety does not work at:

 – Face-to-face blows,
 – Weak lateral blows,
 – Blows in a back part of the car,
 – Overturning.

The system of lateral inflatable pillows of safety consists of following basic knots and details:

 – An electronic control mean system and the control of functional readiness of system (the management block),
 – Inflatable pillows of safety on each side the back party of backs of forward seats,
 – A control lamp on a combination of devices.

At strong lateral blows the safety pillow from outside works collisions.


At the special, combined kinds of collisions can work both face-to-face, and lateral pillows of safety.
The prevention

All works on lateral inflatable pillows, and also installation and dismantle of devices of this system at carrying out of other works (for example, at removal of forward seats) should be carried out only in the service enterprise a Volkswagen. Otherwise there can be an infringement of normal action of system of lateral pillows of safety.

Between the passenger sitting on forward sitting and a place of placing of an inflatable pillow should not take places neither people, nor animal, various subjects. Besides, on doors no accessories, for example, coasters should be strengthened.

On hooks for clothes small and easy subjects of clothes should hang only. In pockets for small things there should not be heavy subjects or subjects with sharp sides.

It is impossible to put on any covers forward seats which are not recommended by a Volkswagen in no event. Otherwise at disclosing of lateral pillows of safety their protective action owing to application of not recommended covers in essential degree will be limited.

Each system of inflatable pillows works only once. If it has occurred, the system should be replaced.
