GENERAL INFORMATION
The
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat belt with pre-tensioner is
designed to supplement the driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belts 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 and seat belt pre-tensioner
systems consist of air bag modules, SRS-ECU, two front impact sensors,
four side impact sensors, SRS warning lamp, clock spring, seat slide
sensor and seat belt pre-tensioner. Airbag modules are installed at the
centre of the steering wheel, on the globe box, front seatback and the
roof-side area (from the front pillars of driver- and passenger-side to
the rear pillar in rear area of vehicle). Each air bag has a safing
folded air bag and an inflator. SRS-ECU, installed at the depths of the
centre console, monitors the system. The front impact sensor is
assembled in the radiator support panel to monitor collision upon
frontal impact. The side impact sensor is assembled in the center pillar
<All model> and quarter panel lower <Except vehicles
for Hong Kong and Singapore> to monitor collision upon side
impact. The warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates the
operational status of the SRS. The clock spring is installed in the
steering column. The seat slide sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the air bag control unit with information on the seat position
<Vehicles for Australia and New Zealand>. The seat belt
pre-tensioner is incorporated in the 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.
