The SRSCM continually monitors all ele-
ments while the ignition is "ON" to deter-
mine if a frontal or near-frontal impact is
severe enough to require airbag deploy-
ment or pre-tensioner seat belt deploy-
ment.
The SRS "AIRBAG" warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition key is turned
to the "ON" position or after the engine is
started, after which the "AIRBAG" warn-
ing light should go out.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags.
The airbag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in the
front passenger's panel above the glove
box. When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of the
vehicle, it will automatically deploy the
front airbags.
B240B02L
A fully inflated airbag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
or the passenger's forward motion, re-
ducing the risk of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag imme-
diately starts deflating, enabling the driver
to maintain forward visibility and the abil-
ity to steer or operate other controls.
