Our various airbags provide full 360° coverage to protect occupants from impacts at various directions. We also provide pedestrian protection products and steering wheels that are compatible with autonomous driving.
These all contribute to reducing the number of traffic fatalities, and we will continue to provide safety to all people on the move.
Full 360° Airbag Coverage (shown equipped on vehicle)
Vehicle occupant protection products (front collisions)
1Driver-side airbags
2Passenger-side airbags
Deploy from the center of the steering wheel and instrument panel to protect the head and chest.
3Knee airbags
Deploy from under the instrument panel to support the lower legs and keep occupants in a safe posture.
4Seat cushion airbags
Deploy in the seat cushion to support the thighs and keep occupants in a safe posture.
Vehicle occupant protection products (side collisions)
5Curtain airbags
Deploy from the ceiling lining to cover the window frame and protect the head.
6Side airbags
Deploy from the back of the seat between the occupant and door to protect the chest, the abdomen and the pelvis.
7Front center airbags
(Front far-side airbags)
When there is only a driver, deploy from the back of the seat to protect the driver from collisions with the door and interior trim of the opposite side. When there is both a driver and front passenger, it protects them from collisions with each other.
Pedestrian Protection Products
8Pop-up hood actuators
Lift the hood and make space in the engine room to protect the head of a pedestrian.
9Pedestrian protection airbags
Deploy over the firm parts around the windshield to protect the head of a pedestrian.
Steering Wheels
10Steering Wheels (Existing product)
In addition to general urethane steering wheels, we also supply leather-wrapped and real wood steering wheels.
11Steering wheel with driver alert lighting
We are developing steering wheels that are compatible with the spread of autonomous driving and other technologies, with new human-machine interface (HMI) functions that connect humans and automobiles. This includes steering wheels with grip sensors and vibration functions, an illumination function that notices drivers of the autonomous/manual driving and the surrounding safety situation.

Steering wheels for steer-by-wire steering systems*
With a new system that produces a next-generation steering feel, multiple rotations of the steering wheel are not needed when making U-turns or parking. As a result, a compact, stylish shape similar to that of an airplane yoke is adopted for this steering wheel.
* A steering system that controls the angle of tires through electronic signals, with no direct mechanical link between the steering wheel and tires.
