The curtain airbag system will be triggered:
z depending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the typ e of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration

z the ignition is switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a rear impact,
z collisions involving a side impact outside
the passenger cell.
