Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash
pad below the steering wheel, and the
passenger’s side front panel pad above
the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone in case of a
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger's
seat belts are fastened. These sensors
provide the ability to control the SRS
deployment based on whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how severe
the impact is.The advanced SRS offers
the ability to control the air bag inflation
within two levels. A first stage level is
provided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.According to the
impact severity, and seat belt usage, the
SRS Control Module(SRSCM) controls
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
