System Outline

The SRS is a driver and front passenger protection device which has a supplemental role to the seat belts.

When the ignition SW is turned to ON, current from the MAIN fuse flows to AM2 fuse to ignition SW (IG2) to TERMINAL (B) 5 of the airbag sensor assembly.

If an accident occurs while driving, when the frontal impact exceeds a set level, the current from the TERMINAL (B) 5 of the airbag sensor assembly flows to TERMINALS (B) 14, (B) 16, (B) 10, (B) 8, (A) 2 and (C) 5 of the airbag sensor assembly to airbag squibs and the pretensioners to TERMINALS (B) 13, (B) 17, (B) 11, (B) 7, (A) 1 and (C) 6 of the airbag sensor assembly to TERMINAL (B) 20, (B) 27 or BODY GROUND to GROUND, so that the current flows to the front airbag squibs and the pretensioners, and causes them to operate.

When the side impact also exceeds a set level, the current from the TERMINAL (B) 5 of the airbag sensor assembly flows to TERMINALS (A) 6 and (C) 1 of the airbag sensor assembly to the side airbag squibs to TERMINALS (A) 5 and (C) 2 of the airbag sensor assembly to TERMINAL (B) 20, (B) 27 or BODY GROUND to GROUND, causing side airbag squibs to operate.

The airbag stored inside the steering wheel pad is instantaneously expanded to soften the shock to the driver.

The airbag stored inside the passenger's instrument panel is instantaneously expanded to soften the shock to the front passenger.

Side airbags are instantaneously expanded to soften the shock of side to the driver and front passenger.

The pretensioners make sure of the seat belt restrainability.
