Although independent systems, their
protective functions work in conjunction
with each other.
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates detection of malfunctions. The
1
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out no later than a
few seconds after the engine has been
started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness if the
1
indicator lamp is not
lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the
1
indicator lamp:
앫
fails to go out after approximately
4 seconds after the engine was started
앫
does not come on at all
앫
comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
