Bag Assembly

The air bag assembly consists of an inflatable bag and a gas
generator. When the connector is opened, the terminals are short-circuited
to prevent inadvertent system operation by static electricity or careless
handling. The bag assembly must never be disassembled.

The volume of the inflated bag is approximately 18 gallons for
the drivers air bag, and 42 gallons for the passengers air bag. The bag is
folded on top of the gas generator. The rear of the bag is provided with an
opening through which gas is discharged.
