ABSTRACT:
An airbag is folded by attaching a line located inside the airbag to a front side an airbag and extending the line across a guide. The airbag is then compacted around the guide and the line. The line is then placed in communication with a sensor. The line may be a flexible element having an optical pattern read by the sensor. During the folding process, the line may be reeled into a sensor housing.
