Hyundai Mobis introduced the first in the world of the airbag for panoramic glass roof

Security system in the form of the airbags for a panoramic glass roof, developed by a subsidiary of Hyundai Mobis, protects from serious head injuries in the event of a rollover of the vehicle and prevents passengers from salon. the Airbag is a large area covers the entire glass panel and opening roof for only 0.08 seconds, which provides passengers with the best protection.

As soon as the rollover sensors of the vehicle detect an impending coup through the roof, the airbag is placed under the roof, is set back, as well as already familiar curtain airbag that protects at a side impact. Thus, the new product prevents the ejection of passengers through the open panoramic roof in the event of a rollover, which usually leads to serious and even fatal injury. in addition, reduced to minimize the risk of head injury is a typical result of the strong shock of contact with the roof of the vehicle. 

Panoramic security system roof, of course, more difficult than conventional airbags. When the sun roof is closed most part of the airbag is placed between the glass and sun screen. Conducted crash tests confirm the effectiveness of the system and low damage test dummies. 

In the process of developing a panoramic pillows Hyundai has applied 11 patents of its own, which allowed him to gain a competitive advantage in the development of this promising technology.
