Hyundai Santa Fe (DM): Passenger Airbag (PAB) Module. Description and Operation
Description
Passenger Airbag (PAB) module is located in the passenger crash pad. This
PAB contains 2 firing squibs of airbag and 1 firing squib of active vent. Depending
of crash speed or the tightening of seat belt, it is decided a timing about
both 2 firing squibs of airbag and 1 firing squib of active vent. At the moment
of vehicles collisions, the firing squib of active vent make airbag distended
and then consecutively leaked gases of airbag through a hole at once. These
operations reduce an injury of the passenger's head. At first, the active vent
sets a rapid deployment of airbag by keeping the pressure, after deployment
of airbag it emits the gases of upper airbag. The Working Principle of Tether
Cutter: When receive an electrical signal, Tether Cutter cuts a strap which
