SRS Airbags and Seat Belt Pretensioners

SRS Airbags & Seat Belt Pretensioners










Standard Equipment
- Electronic frontal impact sensors (2) are mounted in the engine compartment "1" as illustrated.
- Front seat belt pretensioners are mounted near the base of the B-pillar "2."
- A frontal dual stage airbag for the driver "3" is mounted in the steering wheel hub.
- A frontal dual stage airbag for the front passenger "4" is integrated into the dashboard and deploys through the top of the dashboard.
- The SRS computer "5" is mounted on the floor pan underneath the center console. It also contains an impact sensor.
- Front electronic side impact sensors (2) are mounted near the base of the B-pillars "6."
- Rear electronic side impact sensors (2) are mounted near the base of the C-pillars "7."
- Front seat side impact airbags "8" are mounted in the seatbacks.
- Side curtain airbags "9" are mounted along the outer edge inside the roof rails.
- Front knee airbags "10" are mounted on the driver side and passenger side lower portion of the dash.

Optional Equipment
- Rear seat side impact airbags "11" mounted in the rear seats are optional equipment.
- A pre-crash safety system containing a radar sensory system, occupant seat sensor, and an electric motor-pyrotechnic pretensioner system. During a pre-collision event, an electric motor in the pretensioners retracts the slack in the front seatbelts. When conditions stabilize the electric motor will reverse itself. When the airbags deploy, the pyrotechnic pretensioners function normally.

NOTES:
- The front seatback mounted side impact airbags and the side curtain airbags may deploy independently of each other.
- The knee airbags deploy simultaneously with the frontal airbags and seat belt pretensioners.
- The GS 450h is equipped with a standard front passenger occupant classification system that may prohibit the deployment of the front passenger frontal airbag, knee airbag, seatback mounted side impact airbag, and seat belt pretensioner. If the passenger occupant classification system prohibits deployment during an SRS event, the passenger SRS will not re-arm nor deploy.

WARNING:
The SRS may remain powered for Up to 90 seconds after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the SRS components.
