56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Side Remote Pressure and Acceleration Sensors • Airbag Warning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemental Side Curtain Airbags • Supplemental Front Seat Mounted Side Airbags • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting Wiring • Seat Belt Reminder Light • Knee Impact Bolsters • Front Acceleration Sensors • Front Seat Belt Retractor Pretensioners • Front Seat Track Position Sensors How the Airbag System Works • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate. If airbags are required, the ORC determines the necessary rate of airbag inflation for that event. • The ORC determines if a side impact is severe enough to deploy the supplemental side curtain airbag and supplemental front seat mounted side airbag. • The ORC detects rollover.
