Front Air Bag – Passenger
Details & Technology
The co-driver airbag is installed in the front passenger side of the dashboard. The co-
driver airbag is available for an individual seat, for a bench seat (S23) and only as a twin
co-driver airbag version. In an accident it is inflated within milliseconds by a gas
generator, reducing the risk of the seat occupant's head or chest impacting the steering
wheel during a frontal collision. The airbag acts in concert with the belt tensioner, which
minimizes the slack in the safety belt. To ensure that the restraining force of the safety
belt does not cause injury to the occupant(s) during a collision, a belt force limiter is
integrated into the restraint system.
Benefits & Arguments
Reduces the risk and severity of head/chest injuries in a frontal collision
The risk and severity of a head and chest impact on the dashboard are reduced in
conjunction with a safety belt.
