When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds and form a safety cushion for
driver and front passeng er. The forw ard
movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.
No im pairment of view will occur, because
the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly .
