Scheme 47

Scheme 47: DESCRIPTION - SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
Scheme 47: DESCRIPTION - SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG

Side air bags with a volume of about 975 cubic inches (16 liters) each are concealed behind the inner door trim above the armrest. If the air bag is triggered during a lateral collision, the air bag tears open a seam on the inner door trim and inflates within 0.007 seconds to form a protective cushion between the passenger and the door. Thus the impact on the passenger's thorax and the ejecting motion of the head, which might otherwise cause serious injuries, are reduced.

The ORC and the IC each contain a central processing unit and programming that allow them to communicate with each other using the Controller Area Network (CAN). This method of communication is used by the ORC for control of the airbag warning indicator lamp.
