Front Passenger Airbag
In conjunction with the seat belt, the front passenger front airbag, just as the driver front airbag, is designed to reduce the risk of serious injury to the passenger's head or thorax during a head-on collision. The front passenger front airbag is located under the dashboard.
Inflation of the front passenger airbag breaks the dashboard at defined points and opens two flaps, which are connected to the dashboard by means of fabric tapes. The passenger airbag opens in the direction of the windshield. The passenger airbag emerges in an upward direction and is supported on the windshield and on the instrument panel.
NOTE:
The F01/F02 uses driver and passenger airbags with pyrotechnically activated vent valves which are explained under the "Actuators" section of this training material.
