52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • AIRBAG Warning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemental seat side (Thorax) and head airbags. • Front Impact Sensors • Side Impact Sensors (If Equipped) • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Seat Belt Reminder Light • Knee Impact Bolsters • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners How the Airbag System Works • Front Airbag Features The front airbag system has dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags. This system provides output appropriate to the level of crash severity as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and the impact sensors at the front of the vehicle. The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that requires airbag deployment. The timing of the second stage determines whether the output force is low, medium, or high. If a low output is sufficient to meet the need, the second stage is expended later in the crash event.
