DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Both airbag modules operate in the same way. On receipt of a fire signal from the airbag DCU, the igniter ignites the 
material in the gas generator. The burning material rapidly produces a large amount of nitrogen gas which passes 
through the filter screen into the airbag, forcing the airbag to unfold. On the driver's airbag module, the unfolding 
airbag ruptures the cover along the split lines; on the passenger's airbag module, the unfolding airbag breaks the 
deployment door fixings to the module housing and trim panel, and the deployment door lifts off the fascia (but remains 
tethered to the module housing). Once free of the housing the airbag inflates to its full extent. Vents in the airbag 
prevent excess pressure bursting the bag and, as soon as the material in the gas generator is exhausted, allows the 
airbag to instantly deflate.
