Airbag Deployment
In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors the rate of
deceleration or acceleration induced by the collision, then determines
whether the airbags should be deployed.
Operation of the airbag is not dependent on the vehicle's speed, but on
the collision objects, the collision direction, the collision locationand the
changing rate of the vehicle's speed.
Deployment of the airbag should not be determined by the vehicle's
damage severity.
Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous and occurs with
considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The deployed airbag,
together with the seat belt restraint system, limit the movement of the
driver and the front passenger, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the
head and upper torso.
After the deployment, the airbags deflate immediately, which ensures
that the driver's forward vision is not obscured.
Note: When it is deployed, some airbag components are hot, so do
