Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
Operation
A) Driver s side
B) Passenger s side
1) SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs.
2) After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to deflate immediately so that the driver s vision is not
obstructed.
The SRS airbags can function only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system is designed to determine the
activation or deactivation condition of the
front passenger s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the characteristic of item
(s) or person on the front passenger s seat
monitored by the front passenger s occu-
pant detection system sensor. For this
reason, only the driver s SRS frontal
airbag may deploy in the event of a
collision, but this does not mean failure
of the system.
If the following sensors detect a predeter-
mined amount of force during a frontal
collision, the control module sends signals
to the airbag module(s) (only driver s
module or both driver s and front passen-
ger s modules) instructing the module(s)
to inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).

module
On the driver s side, the SRS knee airbag
also inflates with the SRS frontal airbag.
