Advanced Front Air Bag Features

The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage

driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides

output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as

determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),

which may receive information from the front impact

sensors.

The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an

impact that requires air bag deployment. This low output

is used in less severe collisions. A higher energy output is

used for more severe collisions.
