Passenger's Airbag

Passenger airbag







Airbag module
- The air bag is inflated by a gaseous mixture consisting of Argon, Helium and oxygen. The gas cylinder is initiated by a pyrotechnic charge (12 g) which also contributes to the gas development. At ignition, the charge warms up the gaseous mixture which then expands to a greater volume, creating higher pressure.
- Helium is only used to carry out leak tracing on the airbag during manufacture.
- The passenger side airbag is standard for all markets except for the Nordic markets where it is an option.
- The volume of a deployed airbag is approximately 150 liters.
