SIPS bag system (side impact airbag)
This system consists of a gas generator (3), electric sensors, cables (2)
and side impact airbags (1). In the event of a sufficiently violent collision
the sensors react, activating the gas generator which inflates the side
airbag. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the door panel,
cushioning the impact at the moment of collision and then deflates.
The side impact airbag only inflates on the side of the collision.
