Therefore, whenever the vehicle is in mo-

moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of en-
er gy call
ed “kinetic ener
gy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire

The seat belts for the front seats and the side
r ear seats 1)
ar e equipped with belt t
ension-
ers. The belt tensioners are activated by sen-
sors, although only in severe head-on, lateral
and rear-end collisions. This retracts and
tightens the seat belts, reducing the forward
motion of the occupants.
The belt tensioners will not be triggered in the
event of minor collisions, if the vehicle over-
turns, or in accidents where no major forces
act on the vehicle. Note
