Item

Outline

SAS control module

•  Recognizes actually equipped air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt based on module configuration.

Side air bag sensor

•  Detects degree of impact, converts to an electrical signal, and sends the signal to the SAS control module. For operation, refer to SAS control module and air bag module deployment operation. (See SAS CONTROL MODULE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION)

Driver-side air bag module

•  Adopted to improve safety in frontal collisions.

Passenger-side air bag module

Side air bag module

•  Chest-protection type side air bag module is used in accordance with the adoption of the curtain air bag module.

Curtain air bag module

•  Adopted to improve safety in lateral collisions.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

•  Clutch-type pre-tensioner seat belt has been adopted.

PAD switch

•  PAD switch has been adopted enabling optional deactivation of passenger-side air bag module, passenger-side side air bag module, and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt.

PAD indicator light

•  PAD indicator light has been adopted to inform driver and front passenger of the deployment standby status of the passenger-side air bag module, passenger-side side air bag module, and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt.

Air bag system warning light

•  LED has been adopted. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION.)

Air bag system warning alarm

•  If there is a malfunction in the air bag system warning light, the air bag system warning alarm is triggered to notify the driver of the malfunction. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING ALARM CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION)
