(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the deceleration sen-
sor go on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts
on the sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharg-
ing into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rap-
idly increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking
open the steering wheel pad and instrument panel door.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag’s rear or
side.
7. DISCONNECTION OF SIDE AND CURTAIN SHIELD
AIRBAG SENSOR CONNECTOR
(a) With holding both flank sides of the outer, slide the outer
to the direction shown by an arrow.
(b) Lock of the connectors is released, then disconnect the
connectors.
HINT:
Make sure to hold both flank sides of the outer. If holding the top
and bottom sides, it will obstruct disconnection.
