Safety Battery Terminal
The safety battery terminal is triggered at different thresholds when the Crash Safety Module detects a front-end, side-on or rear-end crash of sufficient severity. The connection between battery and starter/alternator cable is then separated by pyrotechnical teams. The safety battery terminal is located directly at the positive terminal of the battery.
Despite the safety battery terminal being pressed off, it is guaranteed that all consumers relevant to safety such as hazard warning lights, interior lighting and telephone will continue to be supplied with voltage.
