METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/6)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
driver and passenger front
Airbags
They are fitted on the driver’s side and,
depending on the vehicle, on the pas-
senger side.
The presence of this equipment is indi-
cated by the word “Airbag” on the steer-
ing wheel, dashboard (in area airbag 1 )
and, depending on the vehicle, a label
on the lower section of the windscreen.
The airbag system uses py-
rotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the
airbag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a banging noise. In a situ-
ation where an airbag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an airbag and its gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and, depending on the vehicle, in the
dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– remote sensors;
– a single
å
warning light on the
instrument panel.
