Passenger-Side Air Bag Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Passenger-side air bag module is installed inside instrument panel, above glove box. It is accessible by removing the cover or panel on top of passenger-side air bag module.

Air bag module consists of large inflatable air bag, 2 gas generators, and 2 igniters. Air bag fully inflates in about 35 milliseconds. Gas is then released through a filtered vent on the windshield side of the air bag, causing it to deflate.
