Side Air Bag: Description and Operation

SRS System:




INFLATOR MODULE (DAB, PAB, SAB)
DAB (Driver airbag), PAB (Passenger airbag) module and SAB (Side Airbag) are comprised of inflator and cushion. The initiator (A gas generator igniting device) is assembled in the inflator. When the vehicle is in a frontal or side crash of sufficient force to close the sensor of SRSCM, current is developed through the deployment loop. Current passing through the initiator ignites the material in the DAB and PAB module or SAB module and inflates the airbag.
