46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE "The Front Airbag System" consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module (with integrated impact sensor) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Seat Belt Pretensioners • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Seat Belt Readiness Light • Interconnecting Wiring • Passenger Knee Impact Blocker • Driver Inflatable Knee Blocker How The Airbag Systems Work • The airbag control module determines if an impact is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate. Based on the level of collision severity, the control module determines the proper rate of inflation. The front airbag inflators are designed to provide different rates of airbag inflation. The airbag control module will not detect roll over 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 ON positions. These include all of the items listed under "The Front Airbag System", except the passenger knee blocker, 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 switch, the front airbags are not on and will not inflate.
