Effect of the restraint systems during minor accidents
During minor accidents, the body only partially
absorbs the impact energy of components
such as bumpers and impact absorbers.
The seat belts provide adequate protection; the
belt tensioners restrain the car’s occupants in
their seats.
The belt force limiter reduces the risk of the
belt causing injury.
In this case, the airbags are not triggered.
The belt tensioners are
triggered mechanically on
impact.
