Additional Information About Your SRS
SRS Components
Your Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) includes:
Two front airbags. The driver's
airbag is stored in the center of
the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked "SRS
AIRBAG."
Automatic seat belt tensioners
that tighten the front seat belts
during a moderate to severe
frontal collision.
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors
information about the sensors, the
control unit, and the airbag
activators when the ignition switch
is ON (II).
An indicator light on the
instrument panel that alerts you to
a possible problem with the
system (see page
40 ).
Emergency backup power in case
your car's electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
How Your Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, the sensors
will detect rapid deceleration and
signal the control unit to instantly
inflate the airbags and activate the
automatic seat belt tensioners.
