Airbag System Components
The airbag system consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Side Remote Pressure and Acceleration Sensors
• Airbag Warning Light
• Driver Airbag
• Front Passenger Airbag
• Supplemental Side Curtain Airbags
• Supplemental Front Seat Mounted Side Airbags
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Interconnecting Wiring
• Seat Belt Reminder Light
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Front Acceleration Sensors
• Front Seat Belt Retractor Pretensioners
• Front Seat Track Position Sensors
How the Airbag System Works
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines
if a frontal collision is severe enough to require the
airbags to inflate. If airbags are required, the ORC
determines the necessary rate of airbag inflation for
that event.
• The ORC determines if a side impact is severe enough
to deploy the supplemental side curtain airbag and
supplemental front seat mounted side airbag.
• The ORC detects rollover.
