HONDA HAS DEVELOPED the world’s first driver’s side airbag system that continuously stages the volume of airbag inflating gas. This system called i-SRS (SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint Systems) features a spiral shaped seam structure and gas release control valve for faster and controlled airbag deployment.

Honda claims that the i-SRS can accommodate a broad range of occupant positions and potential collision situations. The i-SRS will be introduced in November 2008 on the Japanese Domestic Market Life compact hatchback.
