swelling or temporary hearing loss. Because air bags
must inflate rapidly and with considerable force,
there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as
fractures, facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,
particularly to occupants who are not properly
restrained or are otherwise out of position at the
time of air bag deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly restrained as
far away from the air bag module as possible while
maintaining vehicle control.
Several air bag system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them after
inflation.
If the air bag is inflated, the air bag will
not function again and must be replaced
immediately. If the air bag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
The SRS consists of:
• driver and passenger air bag modules (which
include the inflators and air bags),
• one or more impact and safing sensors,
• a readiness light and tone
• and the electrical wiring which connects the
components.
The diagnostic module monitors its own internal
circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical
system warning (including the impact sensors), the
system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the
air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
