Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation

6964 Airbag System







The standard airbags for the driver and passenger are full-size airbags. The driver airbag has an acid-free gas generator technology with organic fuel. The two-level gas generator enables an improved balance of the airbag system for further decrease of passenger strain. The sensors that are connected to the airbag control unit can vary the deployment at two levels, depending on the power of the crash. There are two additional sensors near the front bumper.

The passenger side airbag module is built into the upper area of the control panel and has an integrated cover. The passenger side airbag also has two levels of deployment and uses acid free gas generator technology.
