driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),

output is used in less severe collisions. A higher energy
output is used for more severe collisions.

passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the
inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon
seat position.

passenger seat belt buckle switch that detects whether
