The indication of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" located on the
air bag pad cover on the steering wheel
and the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's side
front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen

ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in

information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and impact

trol the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas
-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev
