Airbag (SRS) SIPS bag
The Airbag System
The system consists of a gas generator (1) surrounded by the inflatable
airbag (2 and 5). In the event of a sufficiently violent collision a
sensor (3) activates the gas generator's detonator and the airbag
inflates at the same time as it heats up. To cushion the impact, the
airbag deflates when compressed. This also releases some smoke into
the car. The entire sequence, from inflation to deflation of the airbag,
takes a few tenths of a second.
SIPS bag system
The system consists of two gas generators (4), mechanical sensor (3),
pyrotechnical wiring (2) and an airbag (1). A sufficiently strong
impact will activate the sensor which in turn triggers the gas genera-
tors and inflates the airbag. The airbag inflates between the driver and
the door panel and absorbs the impact at the moment of collision at
the same time as it starts to deflate.
Seat belts with seat belt tensioners
Cars with airbags (SRS) have special pyrotechnical seat belt tensio-
ners (4). A small charge, which is housed next to the seat belt reel, is
triggered at the moment of collision tensioning the seat belt to take up
the slack caused by loose clothing etc. This allows the seat belt to
restrain the driver and passenger more quickly.
Note!
For best protection, the occupants should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fastened.
