As a special equipment, the Audi -100 can have an airbag, which can be recognized by the steering wheel of a different shape than usual, with a large energy-absorbing plate. Under it is an inflatable airbag that is triggered in an accident by igniting a small amount of solid fuel. Ignition occurs in a collision at a speed of at least 18 km / h with a hard obstacle or at a higher speed in a collision between two vehicles. How strong the collision was is indicated by the launch block located in front under the center console. The launch block launches «ignition tablet» in the steering wheel. By the way, the airbag protects only in combination with seat belts, but in no case can it replace them. It only protects against head injury caused by the steering wheel rim.
