Air bag system components*
The main components of
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) of the vehicle are:
- The driver's frontal air bag is in
the steering wheel and the right
front passenger's air bag (if any) is
located in the dashboard.
- A defect detector system checks
constantly the system function.
- A warning light turns on when any
defect is detected in the system.
* Depending on the vehicle model
- An emergency power of air bag
functions in the accidents in which
the vehicle electrical power is
disconnected.
To check if the vehicle is equipped
with the air bag system, you
can see the "SRS" label on your
steering wheel.
How the air bag works
The driver's frontal air bag is in the
middle part of the steering wheel
and the front passenger's frontal air
bag is located in the upper part of
the dashboard.
In frontal accident, the frontal air bags
inate to protect the passengers.
There is no sign which shows at
what speed the air bag deploys.
The function of the air bag in the
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) depends on the accident
direction and its severity.
These two important factors
determine when the signal of air bag
actuation will be sent. Also, the air
bag ination depends on the vehicle
speed, accident direction, vehicle
strength, and the objects that the
vehicle hits them.
The air bags inate and deate within
0,1 second.
