Description

DESCRIPTION





The horizontal surface of the instrument panel top panel (2) above the glove box (3) is the most visible part of the Passenger Airbag (PAB). The PAB door/cover is available for separate service replacement.





The PAB includes an aluminum housing (2) within which the cushion (1) and inflator (3) are mounted and sealed. A stamped metal bracket mounts the PAB to the instrument panel. It is mounted directly to the instrument panel reinforcement.





The bottom of the PAB houses the inflater (2). It is attached to the PAB by four nuts (1) and contains the two squib connectors (3) which connect the PAB to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument panel wire harness.

Following a PAB deployment, the PAB and the PAB cover must be replaced. The PAB cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
