• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. Refer to Crash sensors and airbag indicator
later in this chapter.
• Front passenger sensing system.
Note: The passenger sensing system will deactivate the passenger
seat-mounted side airbag if it detects an empty, unbuckled passenger
seat.
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.
