DRIVER’S SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
Both the type 1 and type 2 3-spokes (MOMO) 1are
equipped. The driver’s air bag module is an assem-
bly part composed of an air bag, module cover, in-
flator, and their fixing parts. It is mounted to the
steering wheel.
The air bag is made of nylon, and is inflated by gas
generated from the inflator. As the passenger
comes into contact with the air bag, the air bag starts
to deflate while gas is discharged from the two vents
at the back to ease the impact.
The inflator contains no sodium azide.
Caution
Never disassemble the air bag module. And nev-
er subject it to impact.
