DRIVE
November 5, 2014
A vehicle airbag system (10) includes a front passenger side airbag (40) that is stored on a front passenger seat (28) side of an instrument panel 26, and that inflates and deploys toward the front passenger seat (28) side by a first inflator (38) being activated and gas being supplied; a curtain airbag (62) that is stored between a roof side rail portion (56) and a roof head lining (58), and that is inflated and deployed to an inside of a front side door (88) by a second inflator (64) being activated and gas being supplied; and a controller (82) that is connected to the first inflator (38) and the second inflator (64), and that, when a small overlap collision occurs, activates the first inflator (38), and then after inflation and deployment of the front passenger side airbag (40) is complete, activates the second inflator (64).
