Trying to fold a triggered airbag back into its
original shape would be quite an experience. It
can be compared to trying to re-pack gifts
which wont fit into their original box.
Seat occupied
When the ignition is switched on,
the change in state is recognised as
soon as the seat is occupied: Seat
occupied.

Non-return valve
A constant pressure valve is no longer
required as before since it is not necessary to
maintain a residual pressure in the injector
pipe. A non-return valve is used instead.
Reverse flow
During reverse flow, the
valve plate is closed under
the force of the
compression spring.
Fuel flows through the
restrictor drilling. This
dampens any existing
pressure wave.

Compression spring

SSP 182/60
Fuel delivery
During fuel delivery, the
valve plate is lifted by the
fuel pressure and the
restrictor drilling becomes
ineffective.

The rear axle is a torsion beam axle. The
dampers and springs are arranged separately,
resulting in a large through-loading width of
1005 mm.
There is less driving noise in the interior
because the dampers are secured by bolts in
the wheel housing.
