Activating The Collision Protection System

The collision safety system is extremely advanced. It is able to adapt the collision protection system to suit the specific circumstances of a collision. In general it is extremely unlikely that all airbags and seat belt tensioners will be deployed in the same accident. It is possible that only one airbag or seat belt tensioner is deployed. This is determined by the supplemental restraint system module (SRS) based on the forces that occur during the collision.

If the control module deploys the front airbags, all stages will always be activated. By varying the time between the deployment phases, the inflation of the airbag is more gentle for a low speed collision.
