Driver Airbag

In conjunction with the seat belt, the driver's front airbag is designed to reduce the risk of serious injury to the driver's head or thorax during a head-on collision. The front airbag for the driver's side is located in the hub cushion of the steering wheel. The driver front airbag is equipped with a gas generator.

The airbag is triggered depending on the severity of the crash.
