Where Are the Air Bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash
pad below the steering wheel column
and the passenger’s side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt system alone. The SRS
uses sensors to gather information about
the driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt usage and impact severity. The seat
belt buckle sensors determine if the
driver and front passenger’s seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deployment
based on whether or not the seat belts
are fastened, and how severe the impact
is. The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation within two
levels. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts. According to the impact
severity, and seat belt usage, the SRS
Control Module (SRSCM) controls the
air bag inflation. Failure to properly
wear seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
