- Topper Board : Provide stable and smooth reaction surface for Bladder, together with Felt Pad.
- Bladder: Sense occupant weight and provide fluid pressure input to Pressure Sensor.
- Push pins : Use to secure the Bladder assembly on the seat pan and maintain the correct Bladder position during seat assembly.
- Backer Board : Provide stable and smooth reaction surface for Bladder, together with Felt Pad.
- Felt Pad : Provide stable reaction surface for Bladder, together with Backer Board, and protect Bladder Assembly from the seat frame environment.
- ECU : Utilizing data from the Pressure Sensor, BTS (Belt Tension sensor) , and Compensation Tables, determine if PAB (Passenger Airbag) will be suppressed.
- Pressure Sensor: Sense pressure input from Bladder and convert the pressure input to a voltage signal for ECU
