Driver's Airbag Module
The driver's airbag is of a two-stage design and attached to the steering wheel by two captive bolts. Electrical connection to the MRS control unit is provided via the rotary coupler. Once the airbag is fully inflated, vents in the airbag prevent further pressure build-up, so that progressive deceleration is provided as the driver contacts the cushion and injury due to sudden impact forces is prevented.
NOTE:
To remove the airbag connector, remember to first release the built on lock. If the connector is not removed correctly, damage may result.
