Safety equipment (Supplemental Restraint System (SRS))

Warning! The vehicle is equipped with pyrotechnical SRS components. The components in the SRS system must be treated very carefully during repair to avoid:

- personal injury when carrying out repairs
- damage to or malfunction of the SRS (supplemental restraint system) system.

Warning! Work on SRS (supplemental restraint system) systems must always be carried out by a qualified workshop.

1. The front seat belts and seat belt tensioners with seat belt reel sensors




See: Front safety belt retractor Front Safety Belt Retractor Front safety belt retractor Front Safety Belt Retractor and: Load limiter, seat belt Service and Repair.

2. Collision sensor SRS system




The collision sensors for the SRS system are located in the B and C-posts.
See: Collision sensor B- and C-pillar Collision Sensor B- and C-Pillar Collision sensor B- and C-pillar Collision Sensor B- and C-Pillar.

3. Driver's airbag (SRS)




The driver's airbag (SRS) is unlocked in 2 stages. When working on the steering wheel, steering shaft or steering gear, certain operations must be carried out according to the methods for working on the driver's airbag.
See: Driver's airbag Driver's Airbag.

4. Steering column




The steering column has a pyrotechnical tensioner.
See: Steering column Service and Repair.

5 and 6. Collision sensor SRS system




See: Collision sensor Collision Sensor.

7. Passenger airbag (SRS)




The passenger airbag (SRS) is unlocked in two stages.
See: Airbag, passenger side Airbag, Passenger Side Airbag, passenger side Airbag, Passenger Side.

8. Supplemental restraint system control module (SRS)




The supplemental restraint system module (SRS) is between the parking brake and the gear selector lever in the center console.

Warning! Never install vehicle accessories on or near the supplemental restraint system module (SRS).

9. Occupant weight sensor (OWS)




The passenger seat occupant weight sensor (OWS) is in the foam in the passenger seat cushion.
See: Front passenger weight sensor Front Passenger Weight Sensor.

10. Seat track sensor (STS)




The seat position sensor (STS) is a magnetic sensor that detects the position of the seat.
See: Front seat position sensor Service and Repair.

11. Belt tensioner sensor (BTS)




See: Strain sensor, seat belt Service and Repair.

12. Airbag module seat (SIPS)




See: Air bag, front seat Air Bag, Front Seat Air bag, front seat Air Bag, Front Seat.

13. Buckle seat belt




See: Front safety belt buckle Front Safety Belt Buckle.

14. Rear seat belts with seat belt tensioners




See: Seat belt retractor, rear Seat Belt Retractor, Rear Seat belt retractor, rear Seat Belt Retractor, Rear.

15. Inflatable curtain (IC)




The inflatable curtain (IC) consists of two inflatable protective curtains located in the bottom edge of the roof, 1 on each side of the vehicle.
The curtain shields the upper section of the vehicle interior, from the A to the C-posts.

16. Other SRS components

Whiplash system
The front seats have a whiplash function. This function reduces the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of a collision. The system is completely mechanical and is integrated in the seats.

Wiring:
The SRS wiring is orange.
When working on SRS wiring, extra care must be taken to avoid damage to the following areas:
- the soundproofing panels
- the glove compartment
- the dashboard
- the steering shaft covers
- the steering column
- the ignition switch
- the sills
- The panels for the A, B, C and D posts
- the roof
- the front side plate (front collision sensor).

Data Link Connector (DLC):
The data link connector (DLC) is in the passenger compartment.

Decals:
Safety decals must always be in the vehicle at the relevant points. For further information see: Positioning safety labels Positioning safety labels .
