AIR BAG DESCRIPTION
The air bag system activates in
collisions more severe than hitting
a parked vehicle of similar size and
weight head-on at about 45km/h
(28 mph).
The air bag system consists of two
parts:
•
The driver air bag in the middle
of the steering wheel and the
passenger air bag near the glove
compartment.
•
The electrical system, made up
of impact sensors, a diagnostic
module, and a backup power
supply.
The diagnostic module monitors its
own internal circuits and the
supplemental air bag electrical
system readiness (including the
impact sensors), the system wiring,
the air bag system readiness light,
the air bag back up power, and the
air bag ignitors.
The air bags inflate within a
fraction of a second after air bag
sensors detect a severe frontal
collision. Gas generators within the
air bags fill the air bags with a
non-toxic, non-flammable gas.
After the vehicle occupants have
contacted the air bags, the gas
empties through holes in the air
