Sensors

The air bag system is a single point sensing system with remote side impact satellite sensors for side air bags.

In the event of a severe frontal impact the driver front air bag and passenger front air bag will activate.

In the event of a severe side impact either the driver or passenger side impact air bag will be deployed depending on which side the impact occurred.

Air bag deployment will only occur in the event of a severe collision with the ignition switch in the RUN position.

The air bag system provides an auxiliary power supply, sufficient to deploy the frontal air bags for a minimum of 150 mS in the event of failure in the vehicle power supply. The back-up power supply is discharged within 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery positive terminal or battery ground cable. This makes sure that the frontal air bag system remains operative.
