Delphi Supplies First Dual-Depth Passenger Air Bag to GM

Delphi Corp.'s newest front passenger air bag technology -- the dual-depth passenger air bag -- is being featured for the first time in the automotive industry on two General Motors' programs. The dual-depth front passenger air bag will be standard equipment on the 2006 Cadillac DTS and the 2006 Buick Lucerne, which debuted at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this month. The dual-depth air bag can deploy in a small or large size based on seat position, seat belt use and crash severity. The bag's inflation energy is also adjusted at two different pressures according to the crash severity.

TROY, MI — Delphi Corp.’s newest front passenger air bag technology — the dual-depth passenger air bag — is being featured for the first time in the automotive industry on two General Motors’ programs.

The dual-depth front passenger air bag will be standard equipment on the 2006 Cadillac DTS and the 2006 Buick Lucerne, which debuted at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this month. The dual-depth air bag can deploy in a small or large size based on seat position, seat belt use and crash severity. The bag’s inflation energy is also adjusted at two different pressures according to the crash severity.

“Advancements in safety aren’t just about safety ratings under very specified test conditions. Safety is also about common sense. Essentially, the Delphi dual-depth airbag system uses common sense to help protect people of all shapes and sizes under a multitude of crash conditions,” said Jeff Owens, vice president of Delphi Corporation and president of Delphi Electronics & Safety.

The system is fully compatible with existing restraint electronics products. Automakers are not required to make any vehicle architecture changes to incorporate the dual-depth air bag into their vehicles.
