GENERAL INFORMATION


The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat belt with pre-tensioner are designed to supplement the driver’s seat belt to help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger by activating and deploying both front air bags in certain frontal collisions.
The SRS consists of air bag modules, SRS air bag control unit (SRS-ECU), one front impact sensor, SRS warning lamp, clock spring, driver’s seat belt pre-tensioner and passenger’s seat belt pre-tensioner. Front air bags are located in the centre of the steering wheel and above the glove box. Each air bag is made up of a folded air bag and an inflator unit. The SRS-ECU under the front floor console monitors the system and has a front air bag analogue G-sensor. The front impact sensor is installed on the front end upper bar in the engine room and contain an analogue G-sensor. The warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates the operational status of the SRS. The clock spring is installed in the steering column. The lap pre-tensioner has been installed on the outer seat belt lower anchor side. The seat belt pre-tensioner is built into the driver’s and passenger’s front seat belt retractor.
Only authorized service personnel should do work on or around the SRS components. Those service personnel should read this manual carefully before starting any such work.
