SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
1. General
The driver and front passenger dual-stage SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags supplement the
seat belts to help to reduce the shocks to the head and chest of the driver and front passenger in the event
of a frontal collision.
The SRS side airbags help to reduce the shocks to the head and chest of the driver and the front passenger
in the event of a side collision.
The SRS curtain shield airbags help to reduce the shocks to the head and chest of the driver, front passenger
and outer rear passengers in the event of a side collision.
The SRS knee airbag help restrain the lower parts of the bodies of the driver, thus enhancing the excellent
passenger protection provided by the seat belts and front airbags.
A front passenger occupant classification system is used. This enables/ disables the front passenger airbag
and front passenger side airbag by determining whether or not there is a front passenger seat occupant,
and whether it is an adult or child (or child seat), based on the load applied to the passenger seat and the
fitted condition of the front passenger seat belt.
The front passenger airbag door is designed to be invisible. This means that when the airbag inflates, the
instrument panel will split along the cleavage line.
The function of the airbag sensor assembly is to memorize the driver seat belt wearing condition while
the airbag is inflating.
A fuel cut control that stops the fuel pump when any airbags are deployed, is used. For details, see page
EG-49.
When any airbags are deployed, the THS ECU turns OFF the SMR (System Main Relay), in order to shut
off the entire power supply. For details, see page TH-54.
