SRS Air Bags

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

The supplemental restraint systems (SRS) have two basic subsystems:

•

The air bag system with inflators and air bags.

•

The electric system with crash sensors and diagnostic module.

The air bags are mounted in the following locations: the center of the steering wheel, the

passenger-side of the dashboard, in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks and the front

and rear window pillars, along the roof edge. They are out of sight until activated.

The driver’s seat slide position sensor determines whether the driver’s seat is fore or aft

of a reference position. The sensor is designed to control the deployment of the driver’s

air bag depending on how close the driver’s seat is to the steering wheel.

The buckle switches on the front seat belts determine whether or not the front seat belts

are securely fastened and further control the deployment of the air bags on the front

seats.

The front, dual stage air bags control air bag inflation in two energy stages. During an

impact of moderate severity the front air bags deploy with lesser energy, whereas during

more severe impacts, they deploy with more energy.

Deployment of the front air bags may differ between the driver and the front passenger

depending on the driver’s seat position and front seat belt usage, which allow for further

controlling of the system.
