DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the side impact airbag
restraint system utilize two airbags mounted to each
front seat back frame (Fig. 1). This system designed
to protect occupants in the event of a side impact col-
lision.
OPERATION
The side impact airbag control module (SIACM)
controls the seat back mounted airbags. If the
SIACM determines the impact is severe enough, the
appropriate airbag/s will inflate, tearing open the
front seat back trim cover/s protecting the passen-
ger/s. Once a seat back mounted airbag has been
deployed, all damaged parts must be replaced.
