The airbag consists of: driver's frontal airbag module (DAB) and front passenger airbag (RAV), driver side airbag module (DSAB) and passenger side airbag (PSAB).
The inflation device consists of a gas generator and a pillow bag. The gas generator has an electric fuse. In the event of a frontal or side collision with acceleration sufficient to close the contacts of the acceleration sensor, the control unit supplies power to the electric igniter circuit. The fuse ignites the combustible composition, the combustion products inflate the pillow bag.
The removed airbag module must be stored under the block cover pointing upwards. The block connector has two latches. The connector lock lever must be in the locked position. The storage position of the connector must prevent accidental damage. Do not stack pillow blocks one on top of the other.
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the igniter as this could result in an airbag detonation and an accident.
Do not allow the cushion module to reach temperatures above 93°C. Do not store the pillow in a high humidity environment and away from power cables.
When welding, disconnect the airbag connector (under the steering column, next to the combination switch).
