GENERAL INFORMATION
The front
air bag 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 side air bag are
activated when an impact exceeds the threshold upon a side collision,
and inflates to protect the heads of the occupants in the front and rear
seats.
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) consists of air bag
modules, SRS control unit (SRS-ECU), front impact sensors, side impact
sensor, SRS warning lamp, clock spring and seat belt with pre-tensioner.
Front air bags are located in the centre of the steering wheel and above
the glove box. Side-airbags are located inside the front seatback
assemblies. The curtain air bag module is installed in the roof side
sections (from the driver’s and the passenger’s front
pillars to the rear pillars). The knee air bag module is installed under
the steering column. Each air bag is made up of a folded air bag and an
inflator unit. The SRS-ECU is mounted on the front of the floor console
and has a front air bag safing G-sensor, front air bag analogue
G-sensor. The front impact sensor is installed out side of the radiator
support reinforcement. The side impact sensor is installed in the lower
parts of the centre pillars. The SRS 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.
