AIR BAG SYSTEMS (INCLUDING CURTAIN AIR BAGS)

1. OVERVIEW

The air bag systems for this vehicle are not much different from the previous air bag system installed in REXTON.
Front G sensors (inside the air bag unit)
1. Send signals to the front air bags and the driver's and front passenger's seat belt pretensioners.
2. By the signal from this sensor, front air bags (driver's and passenger's air bags) deploy and the seat belt
pretensioners of the driver's and passenger's seat belts retract seat belts.
Curtain air bag G sensors
1. These are located inside the left and right B-pillar panel bottoms. When a collision occurs, the air bag at the
side of collision deploys accordingly. Please pay attention to that, in the case of the curtain air bag, only the
air bag at the side of collision deploys, not both.
Once an air bag deploys, its repair parts vary according to the deployment situation and damage to the vehicle from
collision. Needed repairs also slightly vary between the front air bags and the curtain air bags. The following are the
differences:
Replacement parts when the front air bags deploy: the air bag units and their connection wires (connectors
included), the seat belt pretensioners and their connection wires (connectors included), the entire front air bags,
and the instrument panel (IP).
Replacement parts when a curtain air bag deploys: the new curtain air bag for the deployed side, the air
bag unit and its connection wires (connectors included), the collision G sensor assembly for the curtain air bag,
and the trims and roof headlining for the broken parts.
NOTICE
• When an air bag deploys (curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners included), the air bag unit must be
replaced. Please do not attempt to delete the failure code with SCAN-100 because some data about the de-
ployment situation are stored in the unit.
• The air bag related components, especially the air bag unit, must be stored in a sealed case to prevent any
damage.
• Please do not connect a tester to any air bag connector or single item to measure the supplied power or
resistance. The detonator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the tester.
• Before removing or installing any air bag related components, disconnect the negative battery cable.

AFFECTED VIN
The curtain air bags are installed at the bottom of the roof trim and they
enhance the passenger's safety. The driver's and passenger's curtain
air bags individually deploy.
When the front air bags deploy, the seat belt pretensioners retract the
seat belts too.
Collision sensors, a kind of impact G (acceleration) sensor, detect the
front and longitudinal collisions and determine whether or not the air
bags are deployed. The roles of each collision sensor are as below:
