Airbags fr ont

Driver airbag located in steering
wheel . Fig. 17
Front passenger airbag located in
d ash p

anel. The front airbag for the driver is located in
the s
t
eerin

g wheel ››› Fig. 16 and the airbag
for the front passenger is located in the dash
panel ››› Fig. 17. Airbags are identified by the
word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 16 ››› Fig. 17.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the driver and the front
passenger additional protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
The s

pecial design of the airbag allows the
controlled escape of the propellant gas when
an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus,
the head and chest are surrounded and pro-
tected by the airbag. After the collision, the
airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility.
