How does the side airbag system work?

The design and development of the side airbag system included

recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of

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.

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.

• A special seat cover designed to

allow airbag deployment.

• The same warning light,

electronic control and diagnostic

unit as used for the front airbags.

• Crash sensors located on the B

and C pillars (one sensor on each

pillar on each side of the vehicle).

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.
