System Construction
It incorporates an SRS airbag to protect the
driver in the event of a frontal collision.
The airbag module is equipped with an inflator
that does not contain sodium azide.
The air bag is made of nylon and is inflated by
the gas from the inflator. Then, as the air bag
contacts the passenger, the gas is discharged
through two openings of backside of air bag,
thus deflating the air bag to reduce the impact
on the passenger.
The driver's air bag deploys by changing its
inflation pressure in two steps. The inflator has
two squib connectors to deploy the air bag in
two steps.
The knee air bag module consists of a cover,
an air bag, an inflator, and the fixing gear
relating to those parts, and is installed under
the steering column. Like the driver's and front
passenger's air bags, the knee air bag is
inflated upon a frontal collision for better
protection of the driver.
For the inflator, the gas which is harmless to
the human body has been used.
PASSENGER'S
(FRONT) AIR BAG
MODULE
The passenger’s (front) air bag module
consists of an air bag, and their fasteners.
The air bag is made from nylon and inflates by
the gas from the inflator. As a passenger is
being pressed to the air bag, it deflates,
discharging gas from two vents at the side of
the air bag to reduce the shock from the
impact.
For the inflator, the gas which is harmless to
the human body has been used.
The front passenger’s air bag deploys by
changing its inflation pressure in two steps.
The inflator has two squib connector to deploy
the air bag in two steps.
The side-airbag module consists of an air bag,
air bag cover, inflator and their fasteners. The
modules are installed in the outer side supports
of the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbacks.
The side-airbags help protect the occupants
regardless of the seat position and seatback
angle.
The air bags are compactly folded and stored
under the cover. On the side of the air bag,
there are holes through which gas is partially
released to alleviate shock to the occupant
when the air bag is deployed.
For the inflator, the gas which is harmless to
the human body has been used.
