Specifications

Volvo 1990 760 Model
The airbag system includes a gas generator (1) surrounded by the airbag itself (2). In the event of a
frontal or certain front-angular collision in which the forces sustained by the car equivalent to impacting
a rigid barrier of approximately 12 mph (19kph), the sensor (3) activates the gas generators causing the
airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas. As the movement of the driver compresses the airbag some of
the gas is expelled at a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.
The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbags, takes approximately two-tenths of a
second.
WARNING!
When installing any optional equipment make sure that the SRS system is not damaged. Do not
attempt to service any component of the SRS yourself. Attempting to do so may result in serious
personal injury. If a problem arises, take your car to the nearest authorized Volvo Dealer for inspection
as soon as possible.
