Side-on Collision

Side-on collision
In the event of a side-on collision, a crash severity distinction is made between medium and severe collisions.
As of crash severity of CS 2 (medium collision), the side airbag is triggered on the impact side. In the event of crash severity CS 3 (severe collision), the safety battery terminal is also activated, the electric fuel pump is switched off, and an emergency call is placed if a correspondingly prepared telephone is present in the vehicle.
