Safety mode - moving the car (p. 43)  
The pedestrian airbag (Pedestrian Airbag) is fit-  
ted under the bonnet near the windscreen. In the  
event of certain frontal collisions with a pedes-  
trian, the sensors in the front bumper react and  
the airbag inflates if required, based on the force  
of the impact. The sensors are active at a speed  
of approx. 20-50 km/h (12-30 mph) and an  
ambient temperature between -20 and +70°C.  
The sensors are designed to detect a collision  
with an object that has similar properties to those  
of the human leg.
