(4) Connector Twin±Lock Mechanism
With this mechanism connectors (male and female
connectors) are locked by 2 locking devices to in-
crease the connection reliability. If the primary lock
is incomplete, ribs interfere and prevent the sec-
ondary lock.
(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the airbag sensor go
on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts on the
sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front passenger
airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharging into
the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rapidly in-
creases the pressure inside the bags, breaking open the
steering wheel pad and instrument panel door.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or
side.
