  Passenger Airbag - Location The passenger airbag and its two detonators (R12/4 and R12/5) are located in the dashboard above the glove compartment.  
  Passenger Airbag - Task The passenger airbag serves to protect the driver from injury in the event of a head-on collision. When a frontal crash occurs, the airbag inflates within approximately 50 msec to fill the space between the dashboard and the passenger and thus cushion and stop the forward movement of the passenger's body.  
  Passenger Airbag - Design The passenger airbag module basically consists of a dual-stage hybrid inflator equipped with the two detonators (R12/4 and R12/5). The bag is made of a recyclable polyamide fabric.
