classifies the occupant into categories based on the
measu rem ents made by the seat weight sensors. The
OCM communicates with the Occupant Restraint Con-

determ ine whether the front passenger airbag shou ld

inflation during a collision.

The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are
located in the center of the steering wheel and the right
side of the instru ment panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requ iring the airbags, it signals the inflator
units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to
inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates
may be possible based on collision severity and occu-
pant size. The steering wheel hu b trim cover and the
upper right side of the instru ment panel separate and
fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size.
The bags fully inflate in abou t 50 - 70 millisecond s.
This is abou t half of the time it takes to blink you r eyes.
The bags then quickly deflate while help ing to restrain
the driver and front passenger. The driver ’s front
airbag gas is vented throu gh vent holes in the sides of
the airbag. The passenger ’s front airbag gas is vented
throu gh vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this
way the airbags do not interfere with you r control of
the vehicle.

the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle. A quantity
of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain
airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the
