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.
