Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - I









WARNING: PRIOR TO REMOVAL OF ANY SRS COMPONENTS AND BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY SRS ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS, THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED AND A PERIOD OF AT LEAST ONE MINUTE ALLOWED TO ELAPSE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING AND STORING AIR BAG MODULES.


The SRS provides an additional level of frontal crash protection for front seat occupants. The system analyzes the occupancy scenario and crash severity before activating the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations. The system will only be activated when the ignition switch is in position II or III.

The system optimizes deployment of its components, therefore reducing the potential for air bag induced injuries, passenger air bag module deployments (particularly when the passenger front seat is unoccupied), driver air bag module deployments and side air bag module deployments.
