Load limiter
Above a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it is
at an acceptable level.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
(2/5)
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– a shared electronic unit which in-
cludes the impact detector and a
monitoring system which controls
the ignition module for the gas gen-
erator;
– a single
å
tell-tale light on the
instrument panel.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
An air bag may be provided for both the
driver and the front passenger.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard and, de-
pending on the vehicle, a label on the
lower part of the windscreen.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.
