AIR BAG

1. OVERVIEW
The air bag systems for this vehicle are not much different from the previous air bag system
installed in other vehicles. The curtain air bags are installed at the bottom of the roof trim
instead of the side air bag 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 to deploy air bags. The roles of each collision sensor
are as below:
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.
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.
