If

remember
to
pass
on
the

to
the

If
the

bag
has
been
deactivated,
it
is
important
that
the
new
owner
is also given
the
rele-
vant

- The
relevant
safety
requirements
must
be
observed
when
the
vehicle
or
compo-
nents
of
the
airbag

sys-
tems
are
scrapped.
When are the airbags triggered?
One
or
more airbag
systems
are
triggered
in
severe collisions,
depending
on
the
circum-
stances.
The airbag
system
is
not
triggered
in
minor
collisions,
or
in
rear
collisions,
or
if
the
car
overturns. In
these
situat
i
ons,
the
occupants
are
protected
by
wearing
the
seat
belts.
Factors determining the triggering
res
pon
se
It
is
not
possible
to
define
the
exact
trigger-
ing
response
of
the
airbag
system
in all possi-
ble
situations,
since
the
circumstances
in
dif-
ferent
types
of
accialent will vary considerably.
Important
factors
include, for
example,
the
nature
(hard
or
soft)
of
the
object
which
the
car
hits,
the
angle
of
impact,
vehicle
speed
and
so
on.
Whether
the
airbags
are
triggered
depends
primarily on
the
vehicle
deceleration
rate
re-
sulting
from
the
collision.
By
processing
the
signals
from
the
sensors
located
in
the
vehi-
cle,
the
electronic
control
unit
is
immediately
able
to
evaluate
the
severity
of
the
collision
and activate
the
restraint
systems
according-
ly.

In
the

the
airbags
will
not
be
triggered,

though
the

may

(D
Note
The airbag
releases
a fine
dust
when
it
in-
flates.
This
is
quite
normal
and
does
not
mean
there
is a fire
in
the
vehicle.
