Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation

The Supplemental Restraint System "AIR BAG", used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and in the instrument panel on the passenger side), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.




The air bag deploys if the air bag diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
