SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module*
3. Side impact air bag modules*
4. Curtain air bag modules*
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assem-
blies*
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)/
Rollover sensor*
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors*
10. Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF indicator
(front passenger's seat only)*
11. Passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch*
12. Driver’s front anchor pre-ten-
sioner*
* if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components whilst the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
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 illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the SRS air bag warning
light should go out.
CAUTION
If the passenger’s front air bag
ON/OFF switch malfunctions,
the passenger’s front air bag
OFF indicator will not illuminate
(The passenger's front air bag
ON indicator comes on and goes
off after approximately 60 sec-
onds) and the passenger’s front
air bag will inflate in a frontal
impact even if the passenger’s
front air bag ON/OFF switch is
set to the OFF position.
If this occurs, we recommend
that the passenger’s front air
bag ON/OFF switch and the SRS
air bag system be inspected by
an authorised Kia dealer.
