automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working

Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of side airbags (including side air

curtain systems).

The side airbag system consists of

the following:

• An inflatable nylon bag (airbag)

with a gas generator concealed

behind the outboard bolster of

the driver and front passenger

seatbacks.

• The same warning light,

electronic control and diagnostic

unit as used for the front airbags.

• Two crash sensors located under the outboard side of the front seats,

attached near the floor.

Side airbags, in combination with safety belts, can help reduce the risk of

severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision.

The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the

front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by

the collision will be inflated. If the front passenger sensing system

detects an empty seat, the front passenger seat-mounted side airbag will

be deactivated. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door

panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided

occupants in side impact collisions.

The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral

deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit

that initiates airbag inflation.

The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that

something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were

not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed

to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or

near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral

deceleration.

Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not

touch them after inflation.
