RAM 2500 Truck 2WD L6-6.7L DSL Turbo (2010)
The horizontal surface of the instrument panel trim cover (1) above the upper glove box/storage bin is the most visible part of the passenger airbag. The
passenger airbag door is integral to the top of the instrument panel trim cover forward of the upper glove box/storage bin opening on the instrument
panel in front of the front seat passenger seating position.
Located below the passenger airbag door area of the instrument panel trim cover (1), the molded thermoplastic passenger airbag retainer (2) or chute is
secured to the underside of the trim cover. The retainer defines the airbag door breakout area of the trim cover and serves as the receptacle for the
passenger airbag cushion and housing. Numerous small window openings on the forward and rearward flanges of the receptacle receive mating hook
formations stamped into the airbag housing, which locate and secure the housing to the trim cover.
The passenger airbag unit is also secured by two screws through a stamped mounting bracket (2) to the instrument panel structural support. The
passenger airbag unit used in this vehicle is a multistage type that complies with revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used
in some prior vehicles.
