Activation of emergency tensioning
retractors, belt force limiters and air-
bagsIn the event of a collision, the
sensor in
the airbag control unit evaluates impor-
tant physical data, such as duration, di-
rection and rate of vehicle deceleration
or acceleration. Based on the evaluation
of this data and depending on the vehi-
cle’s rate of longitudinal deceleration in
a collision, in the first stage, the airbag
control unit pre-emptively triggers the
emergency tensioning retractors.
Warning
