GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
This vehicle adopts the occupant restraint system, which includes active and supplemental types. Active
restraint system requires occupants to take some actions, such as fastening seat belt; while supplemental
restraint system requires no actions from occupants.
Active Restraint system:
 Driver seat belt and front passenger seat belt
 Rear seat belt
Supplemental Restraint System:
 Airbag system
 Driver seat belt pretensioner and front passenger seat belt pretensioner
Airbag system consists of the following components:
 Driver airbag
Driver airbag is installed in the steering wheel, which will inflate to protect the driver in the event of a
severe collision.
 Front passenger airbag
Front passenger airbag is installed in the upper right side of instrument panel, which will inflate to protect
the front passenger in the event of a severe collision.
 SRS control module assembly
SRS control module assembly has a built-in collision sensor which is installed on the body floor of auxiliary
fascia console body assembly. It controls the inflation of airbag so as to protect driver and front passenger
in the event of a severe collision.
 Spiral cable
It is used to connect the driver airbag while ensuring that steering wheel has enough steering angle.
 Airbag malfunction indicator
After ignition switch is turned to ON, if the malfunction indicator goes off after coming on for approximately
3 seconds, it means the supplemental restraint system operates normally. If the malfunction indicator does
not come on, remains on or flashes, it means the supplemental restraint system has a problem and it is
necessary to perform tests and repairs.
 Wire harness
Generally, it is yellow and used to connect the elements of supplemental restraint system. The connector
has a safety mechanism.
Airbag system function:
 Airbag must work together with the seat belt, and it is not a substitute for the seat belt. Driver and
passengers should always fasten their seat belts when driving, and adjust the belts to the proper position
according to their size.
 Minor collision will not activate the airbag system. The airbags will quickly inflate to protect the driver and
front passenger only when severe frontal collision occurs.
Seat belt pretensioner consists of the following components:
 Driver seat belt pretensioner
Driver seat belt pretensioner is located on the driver seat belt retractor, which will retract the driver seat belt
to protect the driver in the event of a severe collision.
 Front passenger seat belt pretensioner
Front passenger seat belt pretensioner is located on the front passenger seat belt retractor, which will
retract the front passenger seat belt to protect the front passenger in the event of a severe collision.
