Technical information

Triggered driver's airbag
The driver's airbag is located in the steering wheel's impact absorber.
Acceleration is recorded and evaluated by a sensor. If the triggering threshold is exceeded, the airbag control unit and/or
the satellite responsible (= intelligent sensor) transmits an ignition voltage to the ignition squib which then triggers the
airbag.
The gas created by ignition escapes into the airbag which then unfolds in full.
Front passenger airbag
Front passenger airbag that has not been triggered
The front passenger airbag is located in the dashboard above the glove box on the passenger's side.
A seat occupancy detection feature has been integrated in the vehicle for many years to prevent the front passenger
airbag from being unnecessarily triggered in the event of a crash when the front passenger seat is not occupied.
Using sensors in the front passenger seat and by evaluation of data in the airbag control unit and/or in the satellite
(= intelligent sensor), above a weight of 12 kg the front passenger seat is recognised as being occupied and the system
is activated.
