thrown forward into the area of the deploying
airbag. In this case , the infl
ating airbag may
inflict critical or f at
al injuries on the occupant.
This al
so 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 triggered de-
pends primarily on the vehicle deceleration
rate resulting from the collision and detected
by the control unit. If the vehicle deceleration
occurring during the collision and measured
by the control unit remains below the speci-
fied 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 seri-
ous, is not a determining factor for the air-
bags to have been triggered. WARNING
