OJX1030066EOJX1030066E
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver’s front air bag module
(2) Passenger’s front air bag module
(3) Front centre air bag module (if
equipped)
(4) Side air bag modules
(5) Curtain air bag modules
(6) Front retractor pre-tensioner
(7) Air bag warning light
(8) SRS control module (SRSCM) /
Rollover sensor (if equipped)
(9) Front impact sensors
(10)
Side impact sensors (acceleration)
(11)
Side pressure sensors (pressure)
(12)
Driver’s knee air bag module
(13)
Driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt buckle sensors.
(14)
Rear retractor pre-tensioner (if
equipped)
(15)
Front passenger’s air bag ON/OFF
switch (if equipped)
ÃFront passenger’s air bag ON/OFF
lamp is located on the overhead
console.
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components whilst
the Engine Start/Stop button is ON to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require air bag deployment or
pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
SRS warning light
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint
System) air bag warning light on the
dashboard displays the air bag symbol
depicted in the illustration. The system
checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light indicates that
there is a potential problem with your
air bag system, which could include
your side and/or curtain air bags used
for rollover protection (if equipped with
rollover sensor).
WARNING
If your SRS malfunctions, the air bag
may not inflate properly during an
accident increasing the risk of serious
injury or death.
If any of the following conditions occur,
your SRS is malfunctioning:
• The light does not turn on for
approximately three to six seconds
when the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position.
• The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately three to six
seconds.
• The light comes on whilst the vehicle
is in motion.
• The light blinks when the engine is
running.
We recommend that an retailer of
Genesis products inspect the SRS
as soon as possible if any of these
conditions occur.
