SRS AIR BAGS
•
Driver's and passenger's (front) air bags, side-air-
bags, knee air bag, curtain air bags and seat
belts with pre-tensioner have been installed to all
the vehicles as standard.
•
The SRS is a system that is effective with the
seat belt fastened, and it is designed as a supple-
mental system of the seat belt.
•
The advanced air bag system has been adopted
to the driver's and passenger's (front) sides.
When a frontal impact exceeds the threshold
upon a frontal collision, or depending on the seat
position (driver's seat side), the air bag inflates
the cushion air bag in two stages, improving the
protection for the front seat passengers.
•
When a frontal impact exceeds the threshold, the
knee air bag is instantaneously inflated to protect
the driver's feet (knee and leg).
•
The side-airbag is activated when an impact
exceeds the threshold upon a side collision, and
the cushion air bag is instantaneously inflated to
protect the chest area of the front seat passen-
gers.
•
The curtain air bag is activated simultaneously
with the side-airbag upon a side collision to pro-
tect the heads of the front seat and second seat
passengers.
•
For the inflator, the gas which is harmless to the
human body has been adopted.
•
The seat belt pre-tensioner is activated simulta-
neously with the deployment of driver's and pas-
senger's (front) air bags in case of a frontal
collision. Seat belts are pulled in to eliminate the
slack upon a collision, thus improving the initial
occupant restraint, and reducing the travel dis-
tance of the occupants. For the driver's seat, in
addition to the seat belt pre-tensioner for the
shoulder side, the lap pre-tensioner has been
installed on the outer seat belt lower anchor side
in order to improve the restraining performance in
the waist and the chest areas.
