Better understand active safety and passive safety

If you're shopping for a new vehicle, you've probably heard about active safety and passive safety and you may have questions. Let's take a closer look with a direct definition of both technologies.


Passive safety

Passive safety is the element that protects you in the event of an accident. When there is a collision, the car's safety cage, airbags and structural elements must protect the occupants. All these elements are passive safety.


Active safety
