OVERVIEW AND OPERATION PROCESS
1. AIR BAG SYSTEMS (INCLUDING CURTAIN AIR BAGS)
OVERVIEW
▶ Front G sensors (inside the air bag unit)
- Send signals to the front air bags and the driver's and front passenger's seat belt
pretensioners.
-
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
- 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.
The air bag systems for this vehicle are not
much different from the previous air bag
system installed in REXTON.
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:
