The driver’s and passenger’s air bag and seat belt with
pre-tensioner is designed to supplement the driver’s and front passenger’s
seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger by
activating and deploying both front air bags in certain frontal collisions. The side-air bag
and the curtain air bag are activated when an impact exceeds the threshold upon a side collision, and
inflates to protect the heads of the occupants in the front and rear seats. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) consists of air bag modules, SRS air bag control
unit (SRS-ECU), front impact sensors, side impact sensor, SRS warning lamp, clock spring, passenger’s
air bag cut off switch, passenger’s air bag cut off indicator lamp and seat belt with
pre-tensioner. Front air bags are located in the centre of the steering wheel and above the
glove box. Side-airbags are located inside the front seatback assemblies. The curtain air bag module
is installed in the roof side sections (from the driver’s and the passenger’s
front pillars to the rear pillars). Each air bag is made up of a folded air bag and an inflator
unit. The SRS-ECU is mounted on the front of the floor console and has a front air bag safing
G-sensor, front air bag analogue G-sensor. The front impact sensor is installed out side of
the headlamp support panel. The side impact sensor is installed in the lower parts of the centre
pillars. The warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates the operational status of the SRS.
The clock spring is installed in the steering column. The passenger’s air bag cut off
switch is located above inside the glove box. The passenger’s air bag cut off indicator
lamp is located above the centre upper panel. The seat belt pre-tensioner is built into the
driver’s and passenger’s front seat belt retractor. Only authorized service personnel should do work on or around the SRS components. Those
service personnel should read this manual carefully before starting any such work.
