How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407300935
The SRS includes the following components:
1. Airbag module (Driver)
2. Front passenger's airbag OFF indication lamp
3. Airbag module (Passenger)
4. Front impact sensors
5. Driver's seat position sensor
6. Airbag control unit
7. Front passenger's airbag ON-OFF switch
8. Side airbag modules
9. Curtain airbag modules
10. Side impact sensors
The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the "ON" or "START" position.
When the impact sensors detect an impact of suffi-
cient frontal or side force, an automated circuit ig-
nites materials in the inflator to generate gas and in-
flate the airbags.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an im-
pact to deflation of the airbags after deployment is
shorter than a blink of an eye.
CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Driver's seat position sensor
E00409900166
In order to detect the fore-aft position of the driv-
er's seat, the driver's seat position sensor is attach-
ed to the seat rail.
In the event of a problem in the driver's seat posi-
tion sensor, the SRS warning lamp comes on.
