Can the airbag deploy accidentally during a parking maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, under normal conditions it cannot deploy. Passive safety systems, such as airbags, are equipped with highly precise deceleration sensors. These sensors are calibrated to distinguish between light taps or very low-speed bumps (typical of parking maneuvers) and the sudden deceleration caused by a strong impact or accident. The airbag only deploys when a specific deceleration threshold is exceeded, implying a risk to the occupants.
