straint Systems are designed to activate only in certain
side collisions. The ORC module determines if a side
collision is severe enough to require the Head/Thorax

tronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch
is in the START or ON positions. These include all of

In moderate to severe side collisions, the side airbag
inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered,

airbags moves at a very high speed and with such a high
force, that it could injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in the area where the
side airbag inflates. This especially applies to children.
