attached to a chute, which, in turn, is attached to a reinforcement lid in the top of the instrument panel. When the air bag
deploys, the chute guides the air bag to the underside of the reinforcement lid. The reinforcement lid incorporates two
deployment doors that are forced open, splitting the instrument panel covering, when the air bag deploys.
A Lucar connector attaches a ground to the passenger air bag.
The passenger air bag has a two stage inflator, with separate electrical connectors for each stage. The inflator contains a
non-azide propellant as the gas generator. The inflator uses a high pressure mix of air and hydrogen gas as the inflation
medium. The inflated volume of the air bag is 130 liters (4.59 ft
3
).
SIDE AIR BAGS
NOTE :
A side air bag is attached to the outside of each front seat backrest frame, under the backrest cover.
The side air bags are handed, and each consist of a molded plastic case which contains the folded air bag and the
inflator. A cable connects the igniter of the inflator to a connector in the main seat harness connector block located under
the front edge of the seat cushion.
When the air bag deploys it forces the front edge of the molded plastic case apart and splits open the backrest cover.
The side air bags use compressed argon as the inflation medium. The inflated volume of each side air bag is 12 liters
(0.42 ft
3
).
