Under what collision conditions will the airbags deploy?

Official answer

In fact, not all collisions result in airbag deployment. To prevent low-speed collisions from causing accidental airbag deployment that could harm vehicle occupants and increase unnecessary repair costs, car airbags undergo repeated calibration and verification. Within the monitoring range of the airbag sensors, the airbags will only deploy when the sensors detect that the vehicle's collision acceleration is too high, exceeding the threshold for potential harm to occupants. This ensures safety while avoiding accidental deployments that would increase repair costs.
