SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) AIRBAG SYSTEM
(a) General Description
(1) The SRS airbag system consists of the following airbag and main components:









2. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
(a) Front Collisions
(1) The driver and front passenger airbags are in case of frontal collisions. These airbags deploy by dual stage control. In order to activate dual stage control, the center airbag sensor assembly monitors the following information through the components shown in the table below:





(b) Side Collisions
(1) The side and curtain shield airbags are in case of side collisions. The side airbags are installed in the seat backs of the driver seat and the front passenger seat, and the curtain shield airbags are installed in the upper areas of the right and left center pillars. If a side airbag sensor detects an impact, the airbag sensor assembly center causes the side and curtain shield airbags to be deployed simultaneously.





(c) Rear Side Collisions
(1) The curtain shield airbags are in case of rear side collisions. The curtain shield airbags are installed in the upper areas of the right and left center pillars. If a curtain shield airbag sensor detects an impact, the airbag sensor assembly center causes a curtain shield airbag to be deployed.
