AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-3
General Description
With the air bag system which includes front air bags and side air
bags for both the driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the
seat belt pretensioners, the sag of the seat belt is taken up (for
seat belt with pretensioner), the driver air bag (inflator) module is
deployed from the center of the steering column and the passen-
ger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel
in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front colli-
sion with an impact larger than a certain set value to supplement
protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
Side air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the side of the seat
back in occurrence of a sideward collision with an impact larger
than a certain set value.
The air bag system is designed to activate only in severe frontal
and sideward collisions. It is not designed to activate in rear
impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal and sideward collisions, since
it would offer no protection in those types of accidents.
