Pedestrian airbag*
In certain frontal collisions, the pedestrian air-
bag (Pedestrian Airbag) contributes to miti-
gating the collision of the pedestrian with the
car.
The pedestrian airbag (Pedestrian Airbag) is
fitted under the bonnet near the windscreen.
In the event of certain frontal collisions with a
pedestrian, the sensors in the front bumper
react and the airbag inflates if required based
on the force of the impact. The sensors are
active at a speed of approx. 20-50 km/h and
an ambient temperature between
-20 and +70°C.
The sensors are designed to detect a collision
with an object that has similar properties to
those of the human leg.
