GF91.60-P-4001-03R Driver Airbag - Design

Design of 2-stage driver airbag
^ The driver airbag unit is bolted to the steering wheel and upholstered on the side nearest to the driver. The upholstery is equipped with a predetermined fracture point to enable the airbag to deploy fully.
^ The inflator is located in the casing, which is equipped with two acid free solid-fuel units, and connected to the airbag by way of a filter. For ignition, each solid-propellant charge is equipped with its own detonator.
^ The electric connection of driver airbag ignition squib 1 (R12/13) and driver airbag ignition squib 2 (R12/14) of the multifunction steering wheel to the restraint systems control module (N2/7) occurs by way of the fanfare horns and airbag clock spring contact (A45) and the vehicle's wire harness.
^ In order to prevent any erroneous activation the ignition squibs are equipped with short-circuit bridges, which automatically short circuit the ignition squib's contacts when the coupling is separated.
