NEXO Main Systems
Seat Belt Pretensioners
The NEXO is equipped with seat belts with pretensioners. When the seat belt pretensioners are
activated in a collision, a loud noise may be heard and fine dust, which may appear to be smoke,
may be visible in the passenger compartment. These are normal operating conditions and are not
hazardous. The seat belt pretensioner assembly mechanisms may become hot during activation, and
may need several minutes to cool after they have been activated.
Sensors and Control Module
The airbags and pretensioners are managed by the SRS Control Module, or SRSCM, which is located
below the front of the center console. In addition, there are four side impact sensors : two
conventional accelerometer sensors in the B-pillars, and two pressure sensing sensors inside of the
front door modules. Their locations are illustrated in the image below.
WARNING
• Do not cut through any component.
• SRS components may remain powered and active for up to 3 minutes after the 12V electrical
system is shut off or disabled. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least 3
minutes before beginning any work.
Failure to follow any of these instructions may result in serious injury or death from accidental
deployment of the airbag system.
