RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
75-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Driver airbag module
The driver airbag module is located in the steering wheel and is controlled by the DCU. A bag within the module
inflates to protect the driver in the event of a collision severe enough to deploy the system.
The driver airbag module connects to the steering column wiring harness via a rotary coupler.
Within the driver airbag module is a squib which, when given the correct current by the DCU, inflates the airbag by
initiating a chemical reaction. In deployment, the airbag inflates within a fraction of a second and then deflates at a
controlled rate as the weight of the driver presses against the bag. Vents in the bag control airbag deflation.
The DCU regularly applies a test current to the driver airbag squib to confirm continuity of the ignition circuitry.
The DCU is capable of detecting a short to ground, a short to battery and an open circuit for the driver airbag module
squib. It will also identify if the configuration of the DCU differs from that actually fitted to the vehicle.
The DCU also stores the following additional information on each fault:
lA count indicating the number of times the fault has occurred.
lA start time and an end time for the fault to indicate duration of the fault.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 75-11
DESCRIPTION AND OPERAT ION
Description - seat belts
An inertia reel, three point seat belt is installed at each seat position. The inertia reels incorporate a liftshaft locking
system with webbing sensor and car sensor activating mechanisms. The webbing sensor activates the locking system
if the webbing is subjected to a sharp pull. The car sensor activates the locking system if the vehicle is subjected to
sudden deceleration or a severe tilt angle.
Front seat belts
The inertia reel of each front seat belt is attached to the related B/C post, behind the finishers. The webbing runs from
the inertia reel, through a height adjuster, to an anchor point at the base of the B/C post. The buckle assembly for
each belt is attached to the inboard side of the seat and contains the SRS pretensioner.
Rear seat belts
The inertia reels for the outboard rear seats are attached to the body behind the loadspace side trim casings. The
webbing runs from each inertia reel through an upper mounting, suspended from the cantrail, to an anchor point on
the rear wheel arch.
The inertia reel of the centre rear seat is mounted in the back of the seat. The webbing runs through a guide on the
top of the seat and is anchored to one of the seat hinge points. The buckles for the rear seat belts are also attached
to the seat hinge points.
Third row seat belts
The inertia reel of each third row rear seat belt is attached to the related E post, behind the loadspace side trim
casing.The webbing runs from the inertia reel, through an upper mounting on the E post to an anchor point on the
loadspace floor. The buckle is mounted on the inboard side of the seat.
