SRS driver and front
passenger airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-
hood of the driver's or front passenger's
head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag
is activated even with no passenger in the
front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.

as possible from the dashboard.

All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.

This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the "ACC" or
"ON" position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly.

monitors the front airbag sensors, airbag
sensor assembly, inflators, warning light,
interconnecting wiring and power sources.
