Air bag - supplemental restraint system
僅 NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIR BAG in front of it. DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
僅 When children are seated in the rear
outboard seats of a vehicle equipped
with side and/or curtain air bags, be
sure to install the child restraint sys
-
tem as far away from the door side as
possible, and securely lock the child
restraint system in position.
Inflation of side and/or curtain air
bags could cause serious injury or
death to an infant or child.
Air bag warning and indicator
Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you
of a potential problem with your air bag
- Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button is turned ON, the
warning light should appear for approxi
-
mately 6 seconds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
僅 The light does not turn on briefly
when you turn the ignition ON.
僅 The light stays on after illuminating
for approximately 6 seconds.
僅 The light comes on whilst the vehicle
is in motion.
僅 The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.
SRS components and functions
* The actual position of SRS components
may differ from the illustration.
The SRS consists of the following com
-
ponents:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensor
9. Side impact sensors
The SRSCM continually monitors all ele
-
ments whilst the ignition switch is ON to
determine if a frontal, near-frontal
impact or side impact is severe enough
to require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will appear for about 6
seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, after which
the air bag warning light should go out.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the SRS.
