When the front air bags deploy, the driver's air bag and
the front passenger's air bag deploy simultaneously and
their seat belt pretensioners also simultaneously retract
their seat belts.
The air bag unit monitors conditions of the air bags and
the seat belt pretensioners. When any error occurs, it
stores the failure diagnostic code or turns on the air bag
warning lamp on the instrument panel.

bottom of left and right B-pillars. Each measures deceleration rate at
time of collision and supplies information about the collision to the air
bag unit. Each sensor measures the G value from its side and trans-
mits the decesion to its air bag unit.
