Side Air Bag Module (Except North America Models)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Swift +, 2005 Pontiac Wave, and 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Refer to SIR Caution
in Cautions and Notices.
The side air bag modules are in the driver's and passenger's seats. The side air bag module contains an igniter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded air bag.
The air bag connector contains a shorting bar, which makes the circuit shorted when the connector is disconnected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through the side air bag module during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is connected.
