Authors Abstract
Content
  1. 1.
    In case of a side impact crash an airbag installation which is part of the door seal improves HIC-values considerably and covers FMVSS 201 requirements in this area.
  2. 2.
    A clamp-in-formed headliner contains roof-structure-supports and acts as noise dampening to the sheet metal roof.
Also, it carries
  • side airbags along the roof rail
  • airbags between the front passengers
  • airbags between the front and rear passengers
All generators and supply tubes are mounted to this module.
Altogether, it is a solution for an all-around-head-airbag system.
