onds after the ignition is switched
on.) (

collision, if there is a high rate of ve-
hicle acceleration or deceleration in
the initial stages of a collision
in the event of a side impact, if the
vehicle suddenly decelerates or ac-
celerates in a lateral direction at the
initial stage of the impact and the ve-
hicle is equipped with thorax/
sidebags and/or windowbags.

leased. The
1 warning lamp lights
up.
