NOTE
•
Deployment of front airbags occurs
only one time during an accident. In a
collision where deployment occurs,
the airbags and seat belt pretensioners
activate. Some noise occurs and a
small amount of powder is released.
The release of the powder may appear
as smoke-like matter. This is a normal
characteristic and does not indicate
fire.
•
Volvo's front airbags use special sen-
sors that are integrated with the front
seat buckles. The point at which the
airbag deploys is determined by
whether or not the seat belt is being
used, as well as the severity of the col-
lision.
•
Collisions can occur where only one of
the airbags deploys. If the impact is
less severe, but severe enough to
present a clear injury risk, the airbags
are triggered at partial capacity. If the
impact is more severe, the airbags are
triggered at full capacity.
