Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to protect the driver (and passenger on 1992 Prelude Si models) by operating only when the car receives a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system is composed of left and right dash sensors, supplemental restraint unit, cable reel and air bag assembly.
