SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AND SEAT
BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
M1001009800053
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat
belt with pre-tensioner is designed to supplement the
driver's and front passenger's seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and
front passenger by activating and deploying both
front air bags in certain frontal collisions.
The SRS and seat belt pre-tensioner systems
consist of air bag modules, SRS-ECU, two front
impact sensors, four side impact sensors, SRS
warning lamp, clock spring, seat slide sensor,
passenser air bag cut off switch, passenger air bag
off indicator lamp and seat belt pre-tensioner. Airbag
modules are installed at the centre of the steering
wheel, on the globe box, in the front seatback and
the roof-side area (from the front pillars of driver- and
passenger-side to the rear pillar in rear area of
vehicle). Each air bag has a safing folded air bag and
an inflator. SRS-ECU, installed at the depths of the
centre console, monitors the system. The front
impact sensor is assembled in the radiator support
panel to monitor collision upon frontal impact. The
side impact sensor is assembled in the centre pillar
and quarter panel lower to monitor collision upon
side impact. The warning lamp on the instrument
panel indicates the operational status of the SRS.
The clock spring is installed in the steering column.
The seat slide sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the air bag control unit with information on
the seat position. The passenger air bag cut off
switch is located above inside the glove box. The
passenger air bag off indicator lamp is located above
the centre panel in the instrument panel. The seat
belt pre-tensioner is incorporated in the seat belt
retractor.
Only authorized service personnel should do work on
or around the SRS components. Those service
personnel should read this manual carefully before
starting any such work.
