decisive role in the deployment of an air bag,
nor do they provide an indication of air bag
deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly,
e.g. the hood or the fender ,without an air bag
being deployed. This is the case if only parts
which are relatively easily deformed are
affected and the rate of deceleration is not
high. Conversely, air bags may be deployed
even though the vehicle suffers only minor
deformation. This is the case if, for example,
very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal
body members are hit, and sufficient
deceleration occurs as aresult.
i The fron tEmergenc yTensioning Devices
can only be triggered if the seat belt
tongues on the fron tseats are correctly
engaged in the seat belt buckles.
i Not all air bags are deployed in an
accident. The differen tair bag systems
work independently of each other.
How the air bag system work sis
determined by predictin gthe severity of
the accident ,especially vehicle
deceleration or acceleration, and the type
of accident:
R head-on collision
R side impact
R rollover
