SRS Air Bags
(With Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch)
The inÀ ation of the driver's dual-stage air bag is controlled in two energy stages depending
on the driver's seat position. The driver's seat slide position sensor is located under the
driver's seat. The sensor determines whether the driver's seat is forward of or behind a
reference position and sends the seat position to the diagnostic module (SAS unit). The SAS
unit is designed to control the deployment of the driver's air bag depending on how close the
driver's seat is to the steering wheel.
During an impact of moderate severity, the driver's air bag deploys with lesser energy,
whereas during more severe impacts and when the driver's seat is behind the reference
position, it deploys with more energy.
Front Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger instrument panel.
The inÀ ation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria"
(page 2-56 ).
