How The SRS Air Bags
Work
This vehicle has front air bags and
lap/shoulder belts for both the driver
and front passenger. The front air bags
are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint systems. The SRS Air Bags are
designed to provide further protection
for passengers in addition to the seat
belt functions. Be sure to wear seat
belts properly.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
The seat belt pretensioners are
designed to deploy in moderate or
severe frontal, near frontal collisions. In
addition, during a side collision, the
pretensioner operates on the side in
which the collision occurs.
The pretensioners operate differently
depending on what types of air bags
are equipped. For details on the seat
belt pretensioner operation, refer to the
“SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”.
Driver Air Bag
The driver's air bag is mounted in the
steering wheel.
When Air Bag crash sensors detect a
frontal impact of greater than moderate
force, the driver's Air Bag inflates
quickly helping to reduce injury mainly
to the driver's head or chest caused by
directly hitting the steering wheel. For
more details about Air Bag deployment,
refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment
Criteria" in this chapter for further
information.
(With Passenger Occupant
Classification System)
The driver's dual-stage air bag controls
air bag inflation in two energy stages.
During an impact of moderate severity,
the driver's air bag deploys with lesser
energy, whereas during more severe
impacts, it deploys with more energy.
Passenger Air Bag
(Dual Stage)
The passenger Air Bag is mounted in
the passenger dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the
passenger Air Bag is the same as the
driver's Air Bag, as mentioned above.
For more details about Air Bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" in this chapter.
For further details about air bag
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria" in this chapter.
Side Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the
outer sides of the seat backs. When the
air bag crash sensors detect a side
impact of greater than moderate force,
the system inflates the side air bag only
on the side in which the vehicle was hit.
