Passenger s front air bag
OBD031031R
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protec -
tion than that offered by the seat
belt system alone in case of a fron -
tal impact of sufficient severity. The
SRS uses sensors to gather infor -
mation about the driver's seat posi -
tion, the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and
impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors (if
equipped) determine if the driver
and front passenger's seat belts are
fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deploy -
ment based on whether or not the
seat belts are fastened, and how
severe the impact is.
