SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Each air bag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and, depending on the vehicle, in the
dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single warning light
å;
– remote sensors.
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.

Driver’s and passenger air
bags
They are fitted on the driver’s side and,
depending on the vehicle, on the pas-
senger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word “airbag” on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone 1) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
