Airbag Deployment Sensors and Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of the front airbags in
a frontal or side collision is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Airbags, as required, depending on the
severity and type of impact. The airbag inflators are
designed to provide different rates of inflation. Based on
the level of collision severity, the ORC determines the
proper rate of inflation. The ORC may modify the rate of
passenger airbag inflation or prevent passenger airbag
deployment based on input from the Occupant Classifi-
cation System (OCS). The ORC will not detect roll-over or
rear impacts.
