Knee Airbag

Knee Airbag





In the event of a crash of sufficient severity, the gas generator is ignited. The escaping gas fills the airbag, which tears open the cover of the knee airbag so that the airbag can emerge.
The airbag spreads out beneath the steering column and/or in front of the glove compartment and cushions the lower thighs of the occupant.
The support of the lower thighs initiates a controlled forward shift of the upper body, which is cushioned by the driver or passenger airbag.
The knee airbags can only be seen by the lettering AIRBAG on the cover of the airbag module as well as on the cable connection for the airbag module.
