The

locations

of

are

Airbags

offer

the

best

possible

protection

in

your

vehicle

during

an

accident

when

they

are

used

to-

gether

with

safety

belts

that

are

fastened

cor-

rectly,

and

when

passengers

are

sitting

in

the

correct

seating

position.

Airbags

are

a

supple-

mentary

restraint

system

and

do

not

replace

safety

belts.

Airbags

may

deploy

during

front-impact,

side-im-

pact,

or

rollover

accidents.

The

deployment

area

for

the

airbag

system

can-

not

be

defined

for

every

situation,

since

the

cir-

cumstances

surrounding

accidents

can

vary

wide-

ly.

Factors

that

play

an

important

role

include

the

condition

of

the

object

that

the

vehicle

hits

(hard

or

soft),

the

angle

of

impact,

vehicle

speed,

etc.

The

deciding

factor

for

the

deployment

of

the

air-

bag

system

is

the

deceleration

that

occurs during

an

accident.

Sensors

in

the

vehicle

are

designed

to

detect

the

severity

of

an

accident

in

conjunc-

tion

with

the

control

module,

and

to

provide

a

targeted

and

timely

deployment

of

the

restraint

system.

If

the

vehicle

deceleration

that

is

meas-

ured

during

an

accident

is

below

the

specified

reference

values

in

the

control

module,

then

the

airbags

will

not

deploy,

even

though

the

vehicle

may

be

severely

damaged

from

the

accident.

In

these

cases,

the

vehicle

occupants

will

be

pro-

tected

by

the

safety

belts

if

they

are

fastened

and

worn

correctly.

The

deployment

of

the

front

passenger's

airbag

will

depend

on

the

occupancy

of

the

seat

page

68.

Each

deployed

airbag

is

filled

with

gas.

When

this

occurs,

the

airbag

covers

open

and

the

airbags

unfold

with

great

force

into

the

deployment

zone

within

milliseconds.
