Passenger Airbag
The front passenger airbag is a 2-stage SMART airbag with a volume of approx. 135 liters. It is a hybrid technology design. The gas generator is a combination of solid fuel and inert gas. The passenger airbag module consists of a gas generator, airbag and housing. It is fitted beneath the instrument panel, above the glovebox and behind the CD changer.
The instrument panel has been designed in such a way that it tears open at defined points in the event of a crash and the airbag can emerge upwards. There is no separate cover for the airbag, this prevents the airbag from being deflected if the panel does not swing out of the way properly.
