no. airbags doesnot comes up in th event of minor impacts.
there are sensors which can sense the intensity of the impact.
in simplest words, it won't come up until the impact is of enough intensity, where you would have crashed your head/chest against the steering, if you were not wearing seatbelts!
moreover, never ever let the airbags come up when you are not wearing the seatbelts! they may kill you instantly! airbags works best with the seatbelts. Quote:

no need to replace whole dashboard. if you can drive your car to the service station, then take it there and the service people will reposition it like before, if no damage has been done to the air-bags.
but be assured that you won't feel the need to take car to the service station everyday!
by the way, which Octavia you booked?
is it the RS Petrol or Rider or the evergreen 1.9TDi ??
all are very good.
but still, i am quite curious to know. ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
