10.2.3 FRONT SEAT MOUNTED SIDE AIRBAGS
(If Applicable)
General:
Side airbags are located on both front seats and
their function is controlled by the SRS ECU. A bag
within the module inflates to protect the occupant
in the event of a collision severe enough to deploy
the system. Within the airbag module is a squib
which, when given the correct current by the SRS
ECU, inflates the airbag by initiating a chemical
reaction. In deployment, the airbag inflates within
a fraction of a second and then deflate at a
controlled rate. Vents in the airbag control its
deflation.
