Side Air Bag

SIDE AIRBAGS
The side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with a restraint supplementary to that by the seat belts in the event of a side-on collision. When an impact greater than the set level is applied to either side of the vehicle, the airbag control module activates the corresponding side airbag module in response to the ignition signal sent from the side airbag sensor on the relevant side. The side airbag module operates to inflate the airbag, thus reducing the shock inflicted in the outside upper body (chest and head) of the driver or front passenger.







SIDE AIRBAG
A side airbag module is located at the outer side of each front seat backrest, and it contains an airbag and an inflator.

If a side-on collision occurs, the inflator produces a large volume of gas to inflate the airbag in a very short time.



AIRBAG CONNECTORS

DESCRIPTION
The airbag system uses connectors with a double lock mechanism and an incomplete coupling detection mechanism for enhanced reliability. If coupling is incomplete, the airbag warning light comes on in the combination meter.
