THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 Airbag System Components The front airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting Wiring • Knee Impact Bolsters • Left and Right Window Bags Above Side Windows - If Equipped • Left and Right Side Impact Sensors - If Equipped • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners How The Airbag System Works • The airbag control module determines if a frontal collision is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate. The control module receives the level of collision severity, determines the proper level of airbag to be deployed. The frontal airbag inflators are designed to provide three different rates of air bag inflation. • The airbag control module will not detect rollover or rear collisions. • The airbag control module also monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or RUN positions. These include all of the items listed above except the knee bolster, the instrument panel, and the steering wheel and column. If the key is in the "off" position, in the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will not inflate. 2
