Air bag warning light

and inflator
Main components in your vehicle
• The air bag for the driver is incorporated
in the steering wheel.
• The air bag for the front passenger is
incorporated in the upper section of the
instrument panel.
• The air bag computer is incorporated in
the lower section of the center console.
• The air bag warning light is to warn you of
a malfunction.
• The control unit has a diagnosis function,
whereby the air bag warning light goes
on for six seconds after the ignition switch
is turned "ON".
If no malfunction exists in the system, the
air bag warning light goes out after a
lapse of six seconds. Then, the diagno­
sis function mode is changed to the nor­
mal check mode so as to always detect
any malfunction of the components them­
selves and electrical system.
If any malfunction is detected during this
normal check mode, the air bag warning
light goes on to warn the driver of the
malfunction.
Two backup condensers are equipped
in the control unit for the backup power
supply in cases where the electrical power
supply is disconnected at the time of
severe frontal collision.
How air bag operates
If your vehicle encounters a severe frontal
collision, the SRS air bags will instantly inflate
to help protect your face, head and chest.
You may hear a deployment sound and see
white smoke or powder when the air bags
inflate.
This phenomenon, that is caused by the
inflation of the SRS air bags, is quite normal.
