The cushion module is placed on the backrest frame to contribute to protect where the driver's/passenger's chest is closest to the door's inner panel.

Cushion 

The cushion, which is manufactured of silicone coated polyamide fabric , is folded under a cover. When inflated the cushion has a volume of approximately 12 litres.

Gas generators 

Two gas generators are used to inflate the cushion. On activation the gas generators produce a harmless gas that inflates the cushion very quickly.
