Airbag (SRS)
Brief description
The airbag system has been further developed to
provide optimum personal protection through
differentiated protective features that take into
account the seat position, whether the person is
buckled up, and the force of the impact. The side
impact sensor has also been improved with a
new accelerometer in the control module that
measures the lateral acceleration forces.
The system has been adapted and supplements
the improved impact characteristics that have
been developed in the chassis and body. The
protection has been optimized for minimum injury
to the passengers.
The following components and functions are new
on all Saab 9-5 models:
• 2-stage driver and passenger airbags
• Two front impact sensors
• Seat-belt buckle (active Hall sensor)
• Seat position sensor (active Hall sensor)
• Control module
The airbag system has been given a new control
module with higher capacity to activate more
ignition circuits and to improve diagnostics. It can
define impact force more reliably and earlier
using two new front impact sensors mounted on
the bumper member.
Using sensors in the seat-belt buckles and seat
position sensors, the control module can define
the way in which the front airbags are to be
inflated and whether the seat belt tensioners
should also be ignited.
The cars are equipped with driver and passenger
airbags as standard.
