- Apart from driver’s and front passenger’s air bags and seat belts with pre-tensioner fitted as standard, Australia and New Zealand (2400) can be equipped with standard or optional side air bags on both driver’s and front passenger’s sides, increasing the passive safety level.
- An inflator that does not contain sodium azide has been adopted for all types of the air bag modules.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The SRS is designed to supplement the front seat belts. It eliminates or reduces injury to the front passenger(s) by deploying air bag(s) in case of a head-on collision.SRS SIDE AIR BAG
Side air bag systems in the front seats are activated when sideward impacts applied to the vehicle exceed a threshold to protect the occupants’
upper bodies.SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simultaneously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up seat belt slack immediately when a collision takes place, restraining the front passengers sooner than the SRS. This prevents the passengers from moving forward.CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
