Driver and passenger dual-stage air bag supplemental restraints

The dual-stage air bags offer the capability to tailor the level of air bag

inflation energy. A lower, less forceful energy level is provided for more

common, moderate-severity impacts. A higher energy level is used for

the most severe impacts. Refer to Air bag Supplemental Restraints

section in this chapter.

Front crash severity sensor

The front crash severity sensor enhances the ability to detect the

severity of an impact. Positioned up front, it provides valuable

information early in the crash event on the severity of the impact. This

allows your Personal Safety System to distinguish between different

levels of crash severity and modify the deployment strategy of the

dual-stage air bags and safety belt pretensioners.

Driver’s seat position sensor

The driver’s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System to

tailor the deployment level of the driver dual-stage air bag based on seat

position. The system is designed to help protect smaller drivers sitting

close to the driver air bag by providing a lower air bag output level.

Front safety belt usage sensors

The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and

front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information

allows your Personal Safety System to tailor the air bag deployment and

safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.

Refer to Safety Belt section in this chapter.

Front safety belt pretensioners

The front outboard safety belt pretensioners are designed to tighten the

safety belts of the driver and front ouboard passenger firmly against the

occupant’s body during a collision. This maximizes the effectiveness of

the safety belts and helps properly position the occupant relative to the

air bag to improve protection. The safety belt pretensioners can be either

activated alone or, if the collision is of sufficient severity, together with

the air bags.

Front safety belt energy management retractors

The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow

webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled

manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps

reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by

limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Safety Belt section in this

chapter.
