GF91.60-P-4038RT Front Passenger Airbag Component Description

Component Identification:

The front passenger airbag with its squibs (front passenger airbag squib 1 and front passenger airbag squib 2) is located in the instrument panel on the passenger side. It protects the front passenger from injuries in the event of a head-on collision.

The front passenger airbag is deployed in the event of a correspondingly severe impact irrespective of front passenger seat occupied recognition.

The airbag consists of a two-stage compressed gas generator and an air cushion, i.e. the airbag.

Function
The restraint systems control unit (N2/7) delivers an electrical ignition pulse to either one or both of the squibs of the gas generator, depending on the severity of the impact.

The type of crash involved determines whether the squibs are ignited simultaneously or in stages. If the squib is ignited, high pressure is generated, which is then transmitted to the corresponding pressure chamber.

The pressure rise in the pressure chamber then causes a bursting disk to fracture and the air-fuel mixture can enter the air bag. The airbag is inflated.

The pressure of the incoming gas causes the airbag to deploy. The airbag flap is fractured at the predetermined fracture points and the airbag fully deploys.

The airbag reaches its full volume within approximately 35 milliseconds.

The bag begins to deflate immediately after reaching its maximum volume. The gas escapes from the airbag through a filter and the airbag collapses.
