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, passenger’s air bag cut
off switch, passenger’s air bag cut off indicator lamp 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
passenger’s air bag cut off switch has been equipped in the
instrument panel of passenger’s side. The passenger’s air
bag cut off indicator lamp is located above the centre upper panel. 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.
