Side Airbag Module

The side airbag modules are built in the backrest of left and right front seats (at the door side).

The SRS side airbag module assembly cannot be disassembled. The side airbag module is fixed to the seat frame with a bracket, and consists of an inflator, airbag, and a case.

If a side-on collision occurs, the inflator produces a certain amount of gas to inflate the airbag in a very short time in response to the ignition signal from the side impact sensor.
