A supplemental restraint system enhancement designed for a specific model year and make of truck, this component provides additional safety in the event of a collision. The complete assembly typically includes airbags, sensors, and associated hardware engineered for integration within the vehicle’s existing framework. Its primary function is to mitigate potential injuries to occupants during a significant impact.
The incorporation of this safety measure can offer considerable advantages, potentially lessening the severity of injuries sustained in frontal accidents. During the late 1990s, advancements in automotive safety technology led to wider adoption of such systems. Implementing this system helps to bring an older vehicle up to a more modern safety standard, potentially increasing the trucks overall safety rating and providing peace of mind to the operator.
