DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Front Head Airbag

1 Electrical connector
2 Inflation tube
3 Retaining clip
4 Airbag

5 Rear tether strap
6 Front tether strap
7 Gas generator

The front head airbags are installed behind the A post trim and above the outer edges of the headlining. The inflatable 
bag incorporates tether straps at each end which are attached to the body. When the airbag deploys, the inflating bag 
shortens in length and pulls on the tether straps, which forces it from behind the trim to cover the window in a straight 
line between the tether strap anchor points.

Rear Head Airbag

1 Housing
2 Gas generator
3 Electrical connector

4 Securing bracket
5 Deployment flap

The rear head airbags are installed behind the outer edges of the headlining above the D post. When the airbag 
deploys, the inflating bag forces itself from behind the trim to cover the upper part of the D post and adjacent areas 
of the rear door and quarter light.
