OM-H0384
Driver’s side Passenger’s side
The SRS airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
If the front sub sensors inside the both front fenders and the impact
sensors in the airbag control module detect a certain predetermined
amount of force during a frontal collision, the control module sends
signals to the frontal airbag modules instructing them to inflate the
SRS frontal airbags. Then both airbag modules produce gas, which
instantly inflates drivers and passengers SRS frontal airbags. After
the deployment, the SRS airbags immediately start to deflate so that
the drivers vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting
impact to the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter
than the blink of an eye.
The front passengers SRS frontal airbag deploys together with driv-
ers SRS frontal airbag even when no one occupies the front passen-
gers seat.
When the SRS frontal airbags deploy, the drivers and front passen-
gers seatbelt pretensioners operate at the same time.
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a
non-accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate
quickly, not obscuring vision and will not interfere with the drivers
ability to maintain control of the vehicle.
