Airbag Deployment

Airbag Deployment



A contactor inside the hybrid battery is designed to open if one or more air bags deploy. This will cause current flow in the 36-volt cable to be reduced to a low level.

Caution: After air bag deployment, wait for at least 10 seconds to elapse to allow the reserve energy to dissipate from any undeployed air bags.

In an instance in which one or more air bags remain undeployed, disabling 12-volt power is essential to ensure personal safety.
