GENERAL DESCRIPTION
With the air bag system which includes air bags (1, 2) for both the
driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the seat belt pretension-
ers (3), the sag of the seat belt is taken up (for seat belt with preten-
sioner), the driver air bag (inflator) 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 pas-
senger 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
collisions. It is not designed to activate in rear impacts, side im-
pacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions, since it would offer no
protection in those types of accidents.
