General Description

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS AIRBAG) is designed to supplement the seat-belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and passenger by activating and deploying the driver, passenger, side and curtain airbag as well as the belt pretensioner in certain frontal or side collisions.

The SRS (Airbag) consists of a driver airbag module located in the center of the steering wheel, which contains a folded cushion and an inflator unit, a passenger airbag module located in the passenger side crash pad which contains a folded cushion together with an inflator unit, two seat-belt pretensioners located in seat-belt assembly which contain inflator units, four side airbag modules located in each seat which contain folded cushions and inflator units, two curtain airbag modules located in upper pillar which contain folded cushions and inflator units, the SRSCM located under the floor console box which monitors the system, two side impact sensor (SIS) and two front impact sensor (PIS) which sense vehicle deceleration, a spring interconnection (clock spring) located within the steering column, SRI (Service Reminder Indicator) located in cluster, system wiring and wiring connectors.

Only authorized service personnel should work on or around SRS components. Those service personnel should read this manual carefully before doing any such work. Extreme care must be used when servicing the SRS to avoid injury to the service personnel (by inadvertent deployment of the airbag) or the driver (by rendering the SRS inoperative).
