Side Airbag Module: Description and Operation
Construction and Function
SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM:
Input of a side impact signal that exceeds a preset value causes the airbag on the side that received the impact to inflate.
The SRS side airbag is provided as an auxiliary driver and passenger front seat restraint system to be used in combination with the seat belt. When an
impact greater than a set level is applied to the side of the vehicle, the side airbag sensor senses it and send the ignition permit signal to airbag control
module, then inflated the side airbag module, thus preventing the outside upper bodies (chest area) of the driver and passenger in the front seat from
impacting the front door.
