Drivers Airbag

Drivers Airbag
The purpose of the drivers front airbag in conjunction with the seatbelt is to reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to the driver in the event of a head-on collision. The front airbag for the drivers side is located in the impact pad of the steering wheel. The front airbag for the driver is equipped with a 2stage gas generator.
Depending on the crash severity, the two stages of the airbag are ignited with a delay. The two stages of the gas generator permit the airbag to perform its restraining function in a manner appropriate to the severity of the collision, thus avoiding additional trauma to the driver during the deployment stage. The gas flowing into the airbag inflates it, and in combination with the seat belt this reduces the risk of injury in an accident.
