Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle’s electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
Your airbag system includes: An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger’s
airbag has been turned off (see
page
).
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position.
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you to a possible
problem with your airbags,
sensors, or seat belt tensioners
(see page
).
Weight sensors that monitor the
weight on the passenger’s seat. If
the weight is about 65 lbs (29 kg)
or less (the weight of an infant or
small child), the passenger’s
airbag will be turned off (see page
).
Two SRS (supplemental restraint
system) airbags. The driver’s
airbag is stored in the center of
the steering wheel; the passenger’s
airbag is stored in the dashboard.
Both are marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’
(see page
).
A driver’s seat position sensor that
monitors the distance of the seat
from the airbag. If the seat is too
far forward, the airbag will inflate
with less force (see page
).
Sensors that can detect whether
the driver’s seat belt and the
passenger’s seat belt are latched
or unlatched (see page
).
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe front impact.
Automatic seat belt tensioners
(see page
).
