Internal View Front Door Sensor O-ring Front Door Sensor
The back side of the sensor is equipped with an O-ring to prevent air from leaking into the back
side of the sensor during collision. Never re-install a sensor that has been removed as the sealing
qualities of the O-ring will be reduced.
The Front Seat Side Airbags
The Front Seat Side Airbags have been redesigned to provide two protection zones. The
construction of the airbag now includes two chambers that provide a high pressure lumbar area
protection zone and a softer low pressure chest and rib protection zone.

Side Airbag Design Side Airbag
The airbag is provided with two paths for the expanding gas to flow as the airbag deploys. The
lower chamber of the airbag is stitched at a height that allows a tighter protection zone to form. The
upper chamber has a potentially higher volume area and forms a softer zone during deployment.
Both chambers are filled at the same time and from the same inflator.
