Additional Information About Your SRS
SRS Components
Your Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) includes:
Two front airbags. The driver's
airbag is stored in the center of
the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked "SRS
AIRBAG."
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors the
sensors, control unit, the airbag
activators, and all related wiring
when the ignition is ON (II).
An indicator light on the
instrument panel that alerts you to
a possible problem with the
system (see page 47 ).
Emergency backup power in case
your car's electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
How Your Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, the sensors
will detect rapid deceleration and
signal the control unit to instantly
inflate the airbags.
During a crash, your seat belt helps
restrain your lower body and torso.
Your airbag provides a cushion to
help restrain and protect your head
and chest.
