Side Air Bag: Description and Operation
SIDE AIRBAGS
The side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with a restraint supplementary to that by the seat belts in the event of a side-on collision. When
an impact greater than the set level is applied to either side of the vehicle, the airbag control module activates the corresponding side airbag module in
response to the ignition signal sent from the side airbag sensor on the relevant side. The side airbag module operates to inflate the airbag, thus reducing
the shock inflicted in the outside upper body (chest and head) of the driver or front passenger.
