System Description

SRS Components

The SRS is a safety device which, when used with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and front

passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the SRS unit, including safing

sensor and impact sensor (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag (C), the front passenger's airbag (D), side airbags

(E), side curtain airbags (F), seat belt tensioners (G), side impact sensors (first) (H), front impact sensors (I), rear safing

sensor (J), and side impact sensors (second) (K).

Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the same time.

However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate. This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or

threshold, that the SRS unit determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide

sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

Front Passenger's Weight Sensors

The ODS unit (L) is in the front passenger's seat-back along with the weight sensors (M). The weight sensors detect the

weight on the seat, and send the information to the ODS unit. If the total weight is about 65 lbs (30 kg) or less, the ODS

unit sends a signal to the SRS unit to prevent the passenger's airbag from deploying. When the passenger's airbag is

disabled, the passenger airbag cutoff indicator on the center panel comes on to alert the driver that the front

passenger's airbag will not deploy in a front-end collision.

Driver's Seat Position Sensor

The driver's seat position sensor (N) is under the driver's seat on the left side. When the driver's seat is moved to its

full forward position, the deployment of the driver's airbag is moderated to decrease its force of impact during a front-

end collision.
