MRS/MRS II Deployment Logic: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 151 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW X5, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, and 2005 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The design of the MRS/MRS II allows the control module to trigger deployment of the airbags/ seat belt tensioners individually as needed. The logic is based on:
- The severity of the impact.
- The direction of the impact (front/side/rear).
- The status of the front passenger's seat.
- The status of the seatbelt contacts for the driver and passengers.
