Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Passive Safety Systems -- Overview: Introduction: Notes
The F01/F02 passive safety system aims towards the objectives and characteristics of the E65/E66. The passive safety system fulfils all legislative requirements.
Extensive measures were taken on the body and on the occupants safety and protection systems. The passive safety system includes not only the restraint systems, but also a special body structure which offers a defined crash performance. In the event of an accident, the forces introduced are reduced in a defined manner and therefore have less on an impact on the occupants.
The restraint systems ensure that the risk of injury is further reduced.
The third generation ACSM is used as the central airbag control unit for the passive safety system on the F01/F02. It differs from the previous crash safety modules in having a sensor system placed in position.
The ACSM III provides up to 32 ignition outputs.
