PASSENGER AIR BAG
(PAB) OPERATION
Supplemental Restraint System
The PAB, located on the right side dash pad assembly
just above the glove box, contains a folded cushion
and an inflator unit. The inflator assembly also has
two squibs similar to the DAB. The inflator assembly is
equipped with two squibs designed to deploy in stages
depending on the severity and velocity of the collision.
Stage(s) of deployment depends on the severity and
velocity of the collision and the occupant's proximity to
the airbag position. The dual squib inflator design is
used to tune the deployment characteristics of the
driver airbag system into three stages.
• Stage 1 – One squib fires (70%)
• Stage 2 – Second squib fires after the first (30%)
• Stage 3 – Both squibs fire simultaneously (100%)
The passenger airbag has no vent holes. After
deployment, the gas vents through the back side
material. Like the DAB, the PAB is a dual-stage airbag,
but it has only one connector with 4 pins for the two
circuits. The 4-pin connector can be located by
removing the glove compartment on the upper left side.
