Side Airbag and Side Curtain Airbag Deployment Process
1. The collision force generated from the side impact is input to each of the side impact sensors and the SRS unit.
2. If the main drive circuit inside the SRS unit determines that the side impact sensor output exceeds a preset threshold value and the output from the side impact G sensor inside the SRS unit exceeds a preset threshold value, the circuit creates an actuation signal.
3. The actuation signal is sent from the main drive circuit to the trigger circuit, which deploys the side airbags and side curtain airbags. The doors of the vehicle are unlocked simultaneously with the deployment of the side airbags and the side curtain airbags.
