Principles of Operation

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Operation

The supplemental restraint system is AC fired.
In the event of a severe frontal or three-quarter
frontal impact, in excess of a predetermined limit,
the driver and passenger (if equipped) front air
bag(s) will deploy.
Air bag deployment will only occur, in the event of
a severe collision when the ignition key is in the
RUN position.
