Passenger's Seat Airbag Module

PASSENGER'S SEAT AIRBAG MODULE




The front passenger's seat SRS airbag module assembly is built in the instrument panel at the front passenger's side.

The SRS airbag module assembly cannot be disassembled. The front passenger's seat airbag module is fixed to the steering support beam, and consists of an inflator and an airbag.




The inflator houses igniters and gas generating agents with a metal container. Igniters and gas generating agents are placed at two locations, and a 2-stage inflator which controls the airbag inflating speed according to the magnitude of impact at a collision is used. If the impact detected by the airbag sensor is equivalent to the level detected at a high speed, sudden collision, the two gas generating agents are ignited simultaneously. If the event of a collision at low or mid speed, the ignition of the 2nd stage gas generating agent is delayed to reduce the output of the inflator. Thus the inflator outputs power suitable for the severity of collision and relieves the impact to the passenger's head or upper body.
