CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
1- 21
A fully inflated airbag in combination with a prop-
erly worn seat belt slows the driver's or the
passenger's forward motion, thus reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag immediately
starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain
forward visibility.

CAUTION:
Do not install or place any accessories (drink
holder, cassette holder, sticker, etc) on the
front passenger's panel above the glove box
in the vehicle with passenger's side air bag.
Such objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the passenger's
side air bag inflates.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly
into the pad covers will separate under pressure
from the expansion of the airbags. Further open-
ing of the covers then allows full inflation of the
airbags.
The airbag modules are located both in the
centre of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box. When
the SRSCM detects a considerable impact to the
front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
airbags.

SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Side Airbag Module
- Passenger's Side Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all elements
while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal
or near-frontal impact is severe enough to re-
quire airbag deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) on the
instrument panel will blink for about 6 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position
or after the engine is started, after which the SRI
should go out.
