Passive Safety
Passive safety refers to all the design measures taken to protect you and your passengers from injury. It refers particularly to what happens in the event of a collision and includes the protection of other road users. Besides the seat belt system, the most important passive safety features in our cars include the airbags, the deformation-resistant occupant cell and the front and rear deformation zones. These provide a substantial amount of protection for you and your passengers by dissipating the impact energy. Taken together with the active safety aspects, all our cars offer outstanding all-round protection.
