Deceleration sensors continuously

monitor the physical forces acting upon

the vehicle. If there is a deceleration

because of a head-on collision in which

the protection normally afforded by the

safety belts is no longer sufficient by

itself, then the gas generators for the

front airbags will be simultaneously

ignited on both the driver and

passenger sides. However, the

passenger-side airbag is only triggered

if an additional sensor has recognized

that the passenger seat is occupied.

In the event of a side impact, the front

head and side airbags or rear side

airbags

* will deploy if necessary on the

side where the impact occurs.

The airbags located under the marked

covers inflate and unfold in a matter of

a few milliseconds. In this process, they

tear through the designed separation

points of the upholstered covers or

press them out.

The gas required to inflate the airbags

is not dangerous, and it dissipates

together with the associated smoke.

The gas required to inflate the airbags

is not dangerous, and the smoke asso-

ciated with it dissipates.

The entire process is completed within

fractions of a second.

The AM frequency bands (medium-

wave, long-wave and short-wave) make

it possible to receive stations from a

great distance, because the broadcast

signals travel not only along the ground

as surface waves, but also as atmo-

spheric waves that are reflected from

the ionosphere.

Frequency-modulation (FM) provides

substantially better sound quality than

on the. However, because FM trans-

missions rely on line-of-sight broadcast

waves, their effective reception range is

limited.
