Driver and Front Passenger Side Air Bags
The driver and front passenger side air bags are components of the air bag system. In occurrence of a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value they are activated by the ignition signal from SDM to supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
- The driver air bag (1) (inflator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column.
- The passenger air bag (2) (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat.
- The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the centerline of the vehicle.
- To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster (2) located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger and the steering column (1) is collapsible.
