SEAT AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The left and right seat airbags (Fig. 13) are located
in the outboard edge of the front seat backs. The air-
bag contains a bag, an inflator (small canister of
highly compressed gas), and a mounting bracket. The
seat airbag cannot be repaired and must be replaced
if deployed or in any way damaged.
OPERATION

the inflator seals the hole in the airbag cushion so it
can discharge the compressed gas directly into the
