Inflator Module

When the vehicle is in an accident of sufficient force to simultaneously close the arming sensor and at least one discriminating sensor, nitrogen gas inflates the air bag packed inside the steering wheel hub and an optional or standard passenger-side air bag. The air bag inflates and deploys in less than 1/20 of a second. As the driver contacts the air bag, the gas is vented and deflation occurs.
