Side impact airbag
The most effective occupant restraint
system yet developed for use in
production vehicles is the seat belt. In
some cases, however, the protective
effect of a seat belt can be further
enhanced by an airbag.
The driver airbag is located in the
steering wheel hub. The passenger
airbag is located in the dashboard
ahead of the passenger.
The side impact airbags are located in
the front doors. In conjunction with
wearing the seat belts with emergency
tensioning retractors, the airbags can
provide increased protection for the
driver and passenger in certain major
frontal and front-angled and side
impacts.
The operational readiness of the airbag
system is verified by the indicator
lamp "SRS" in the instrument cluster.
If no fault is detected, the lamp will go
out after approximately 4 seconds;
after the lamp goes out, the system
continues to monitor the components
and circuitry of the airbag system and
will indicate a malfunction by coming
on again.
The following system components are
monitored or undergo a self-check:
crash-sensor, airbag ignition circuits,
driver and passenger seat belt buckles.
Initially, when the key is turned from
steering lock position 0 to positions 1
or 2, malfunctions in the crash-sensor
are detected and indicated (the "SRS"
indicator lamp stays on longer than 4
seconds).
In the operational mode, after the
indicator lamp has gone out following
the initial check, interruptions and
short circuits in the driver
