SAFETY
SUPPLEMENTARY
SYSTEM (SRS) (Airbags)
The airbag 'SRS' system contain the fol-
lowing components depend upon the pro-
vided safety features in vehicle.
• Seat belt pre-tensioners
• Seat belt with load limiters
• Driver Airbag
• Front Passenger Airbag
• Airbag 'SRS' ECU (Electronic Control
Unit)
• Collision Sensors
• SRS wiring harness
• SRS warning lamp
The System is active when ignition switch
is in the "ON" position or the ignition mode
is "ON". Air bags are designed to inflate in
collisions when required. In the event of a
collision, the collision sensors will detect
signals, and if the Airbag ECU judges that
the signals represent a severe collision,
will trigger the airbags. The inflated air
bags provide a cushion to the occupants.
The air bag inflates and deflates so quickly
42
RESTRAINT that you may not even realize that it has
activated. The air bag will neither hinder
your view nor make it harder to exit the ve-
hicle.
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force, ac-
companied by loud noise and smoke,
which is usual. The inflated airbag, to-
gether with seat belts, limit the movement
of an occupant, thereby reducing the risk
of injury.
When an airbag inflates, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
airbag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the
area with water. For nose or throat irrita-
tion, move to fresh air. Also sometimes the
smoke can cause breathing problems, it is
advised to get fresh air immediately.
After inflation, airbag gradually gives a
cushioning effect for the occupant after
which it deflates. It is not advisable to drive
your vehicle after the airbags have been
deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the airbags will not be in place to
protect you.
