The third new technology from Honda for today is the world's first i-SRS airbag for the driver.


The third new technology from Honda for today is the world's first i-SRS airbag for the driver. The new Honda i-SRS airbag manages to continuously stage the volume of airbag-inflating gas which reduces the impact with the occupant in case it deploys. The Honda i-SRS airbag will be launched in November this year.

The new Honda i-SRS airbag offers three key features: a faster deployment, a longer period of inflation and protection and a reduced impact with the driver.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced that it has developed the world's first driver-side i-SRS airbag system that continuously stages the volume of airbag-inflating gas, thereby combining enhanced occupant protection with reduced occupant impact. Honda plans to implement the new continuously staged inflation i-SRS airbag system on the driver's side of the Life minicar to be released in Japan .
A Honda innovation, the new i-SRS airbag system features a spiral-shaped seam structure and gas release control valve to control airbag deployment and pressure for faster deployment, reduced occupant impact and a longer period of inflation and occupant protection. As a result, the new system accommodates a broad range of occupant positions and potential collision situations.
