Side Air Bag: Description and Operation
CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
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 relevant side airbag sensor sends an ignition signal to the corresponding
airbag control module. The side airbag module operates to inflate the airbag, thus reducing the shock inflicted in the outside upper body (chest) of the
driver or front passenger.
