Things you

know

3. In recent years, airbags have
become standard equipment in
all vehicles thanks to its function
of protecting occupants against
injury during collisions.

4. _________ 1.
AIRBAGS DON’T
ALWAYS INFLATE
WHEN COLLISIONS
OCCUR

5. NOTE
o Your airbag system is monitored and
controlled by the computer and a network
of sensors.
o The sensors read the severity and location
of an impact or a collision and then send
that information to the computer.
o The computer then determines if the
criteria warrant deploying the airbags.

6. If your airbags don’t inflate in a
serious collision, perhaps there
are not enough conditions for
airbags deployment.
If you’re driving slower than
12 - 18 mph, the airbags will
not inflate.

7. 2.
DO AIRBAGS ONLY
ACTIVATE WHEN
YOU ARE WEARING
SEAT BELTS?

8. This depends on the
vehicles of each car
manufacturer.
Most Japanese carmakers, including
Toyota, make airbags and seat belts
independent of each other. Therefore, your
airbags will be active even when seat belts
aren’t fastened.

9. ALL ABOUT AIRBAGS
 Some German brands such as
Volkswagen and BMW also use
the same design.
 Even, for BMW, if passengers
haven’t fastened the seat belts,
the airbags will be more sensitive
and deploy sooner than expected.

10. If you possess a Mercedes, you
are forced to wear seat belts so
that the airbags system can work
in case of vehicle collisions.
For these kinds of vehicle, you
must take notice of the airbag
indicator on the dashboard. When
the indicator is off, it means you
have forgotten your seat belts.
