Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
How the Supplemental
Restraint System works
The SRS includes the following components:
4
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- SRS warning light
3- Passenger's airbag off indicator
4- Front impact sensors
5- Airbag module (Passenger)
6- Airbag module (Driver's knee)
7- Driver's seat position sensor
8- Passenger's seat occupant classifica-
tion sensor system
9- Airbag control unit
4-36

10- Side airbag modules
11- Curtain airbag modules
12- Side impact sensors
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the operation mode of the power switch is in
ON. These include all of the items listed
above and all related wiring.
The airbags will operate under the same con-
ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient
front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover
of the vehicle, curtain airbags will be
deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is
not harmful, but do not intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.
An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you
may not even notice that the airbag was
inflated.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver
from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great
force. In certain situations, contact with an
inflating airbag may cause small cuts, abra-
sions, and bruises.
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
