Your vehicle is equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver 
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are 
located in the center of the steering 
wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash 
pad below the steering wheel, and the 
passenger’s side front panel pad above 
the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters 
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the 
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with 
additional protection than that offered 
by the seat belt system alone in case of a 
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine 
if the driver and front passenger's 
seat belts are fastened. These sensors 
provide the ability to control the SRS 
deployment based on whether or not the 
seat belts are fastened, and how severe 
the impact is.The advanced SRS offers 
the ability to control the air bag inflation 
within two levels. A first stage level is 
provided for moderate-severity impacts. 
A second stage level is provided for 
more severe impacts.According to the 
impact severity, and seat belt usage, the 
SRS Control Module(SRSCM) controls 
the air bag inflation. Failure to properly 
wear seat belts can increase the risk or 
severity of injury in an accident.
