AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SEQUENCE
1. When the actuation impact threshold for the driver
side airbag is exceeded, an electric pulse is trans-
mitted to the squib in the gas generator by the
Seat Belt Tensioner (SBT) and Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC).
2. The squib ignites the solid fuel in the gas genera-
tor. The solid fuel combusts, developing a gas
which explodes under high pressure into the airbag
through a filter.
3. The airbag inflates and tears open the steering
wheel cushion cover at a predetermined breaking
point.
