AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver’s
and passenger’s sides as well as the seat belt pretensioners (if
equipped), the sag of the seat belt is taken up, the driver air bag (in-
flator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column
and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the
instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence
of a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value to
supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger
seat belts.
The air bag system is designed to activate only in severe frontal col-
lisions. It is not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts,
rollovers, or minor frontal collisions, since it would offer no protec-
tion in those types of accidents.
