AIR MBAG MODULE ON DRIVERS’S SIDE

The new type of steering wheel is fitted with lateral commands for the horns. The centre of the steering wheel houses the AIR BAG module. It is fixed with three screws to the rear part of the steering wheel. The module is composed of a steel plate covered with a plastic container which forms the hub of the steering wheel.

The container holds a folded cushion and the inflation device. The inflation device contains a detonator which is activated electrically producing a chemical copound (sodium azide) forming nitrogen gas. The rear part of the cushion has holes of a suitable size to allow the cushion to deflate immediately after inflation.

WARNING ! The operators authorized to handle the AIRBAG modules, in addition to scrupulously respecting the indications given above, must be extremely attentive and informed regarding the potential danger resulting from the involuntary intervention of the module.
