Fixed Driver Airbag Module
Component PDF:
While conventional driver airbags are generally round and rotate with the steering wheel, TRW’s fixed version has an asymmetric shape that allows changes to the deployment of the driver-side airbags. A circumferential gear wheel keeps the airbag module in a defined position. The system transmits direct forces from the steering wheel spokes to the steering column, eliminating any effects on the strength of the steering wheel. The stationary center area also allows for the integration of multi-function control switches.
