The following system components are
monitored or undergo a self-check:
crash-sensor, airbag ignition circuits,
driver and passenger seat belt buckles.
Initially, when the key is turned from

In cases of other frontal impacts,
roll-overs, certain side impacts, rear
collisions, or other accidents without
sufficient frontal forces, the airbag
will not be activated. The driver and
passengers will then be protected by
the fastened seat belts.
