Passenger Airbag

Passenger airbag





Airbag module
The air bag is inflated by a gaseous mixture consisting of Argon, Helium and oxygen. The gas cylinder is initiated by a pyrotechnic charge (12 g) which also contributes to the gas development. At ignition, the charge warms up the gaseous mixture which then expands to a greater volume, creating higher pressure.
Helium is only used to carry out leak tracing on the airbag during manufacture.
The passenger side airbag is standard for all markets except for the Nordic markets where it is an option.
The volume of a deployed airbag is approximately 150 liters.
