Under the large impact plate in the middle of the steering wheel, or above the glovebox, there is one airbag each, which is inflated in crashes by igniting a small amount of solid fuel. Ignition occurs in a collision at a speed of at least 30 km / h with a hard obstacle or at a relatively higher speed in the event of a collision between two vehicles. The impact force is determined by the trigger, which is located behind the center console. Then, if necessary, he sets fire to «cartridge» in the steering wheel.
The airbag provides protection only in combination with seat belts - it cannot replace them. It only protects against head injuries caused by the steering wheel crown, dashboard and glass.
