Restraints and Safety Systems: Description and Operation

Description







The air bags and seat belt pre-tensioners deploy if the air bag diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.

The air bag diagnosis sensor unit will deploy the air bags and the seat belt pre-tensioners if the G sensor activates simultaneously with the sating sensor while the ignition switch is ON.







PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION SWITCH
The vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag deactivation switch which can be operated by the customer. When the switch is turned to the ON position, the passenger air bag is enabled and could inflate in a frontal collision. When the switch is turned to the OFF position, the passenger air bag is disabled and will not inflate in a frontal collision.

After turning the ignition switch ON, the passenger air bag deactivation switch indicator on the instrument panel illuminates for bulb check. The indicator will remain illuminated if the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. If the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the ON position, the indicator will turn off after about 7 seconds.

After SRS maintenance or repair, make sure the passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the same position (ON or OFF) as when the vehicle arrived for service.
