Toyoda Gosei supplies many types of airbags to protect vehicle occupants and pedestrians in response to collisions from various angles.
We also aim to achieve the best passenger protection with seatbelt and airbag combinations.
In this way we will contribute to reducing traffic fatalities and injuries.
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.
5Seatbelts
Securing vehicle occupants to their seats protects from being thrown about and other risks from the impact in collisions.
Vehicle Occupant Protection Products (side collisions)
6Curtain airbags
Deploy from the ceiling lining to cover the window frame and protect the head.
7Side airbags
Deploy from the back of the seat between the occupant and door to protect the chest, the abdomen and the pelvis.
8Front 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
9Pop-up hood actuators
Lift the hood and make space in the engine room to protect the head of a pedestrian.
10Pedestrian protection airbags
Deploy over the firm parts around the windshield to protect the head of a pedestrian.
Steering Wheels
11Steering Wheels (Existing product)
In addition to general urethane steering wheels, we also supply leather-wrapped and real wood steering wheels.
12Steering wheel with driver alert lighting
In addition to grip sensors and vibrating functions, we are developing steering wheels equipped with new human-machine interface (HMI) functions in response to the spread of autonomous driving and other new technologies. These new functions include illumination to notify drivers of the current driving mode (self-driving/ human operation) and the surrounding safety situation.

Steering wheels for steer-by-wire steering systems*
New style steering wheel for nextgeneration steering systems. With steer-by-wire systems, the steering wheel does not need to be rotated multiple times when making U-turns or parking, and so rather than a conventional round shape, we have adopted a shape more like an airplane yoke.
* A steering system that controls the angle of tires through electronic signals, with no direct mechanical link between the steering wheel and tires.
