Safety
Head-on collisions and the laws of

The unbelted passenger in the rear seat

who is wearing a seat belt. The effects of the laws of physics in the case
of a head-on collision ar
e easy t
o expl
ain: the
moment a v ehicl
e st

arts moving, a type of en- ergy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends onthe speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the v

ehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers

The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
The system is immediately activated and the
turn signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse- quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicle
and the turn signal

s will flash accordingly
when the doors close.
