not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the supple-
mental air bag systems.

The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and/or orange for easy identification.
When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation.
Front passenger air bag status light:
When the power switch is in the ON position, the
front passenger air bag status light on the meter illu-
minates for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This
indicates that the front passenger air bag system is

When the front passenger air bag is turned off with
the front passenger air bag switch, the front pas-
senger air bag status light will illuminate and remain
on as long as the front passenger air bag switch is
in the OFF position.
