Air Bag Systems: Description and Operation

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG"





The Supplemental Restraint System "Air Bag", used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instrument panel on the passenger side), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.





The air bags deploy if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in "ON" or "START" position.

After turning ignition key to "ON" or "START" position, "AIR BAG" warning lamp illuminates. The "AIR BAG" warning lamp will go out after about 7 seconds, if no malfunction is detected.
- The warning lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
- The warning lamp does not turn off about 7 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON".
- The warning lamp turns off about 7 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON", but it turns on or blinks again.
