o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro-
tection in a crash. If an occupant is
out of position because of not
wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant
causing serious or fatal injuries.

SRS Components and Functions
B240B01L
The SRS consists of the following com-
ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM)
The SRSCM continually monitors all
elements while the ignition is 'ON' to
determine if a frontal or near-frontal
impact is severe enough to require
airbag deployment.
The SRS service reminder indicator
(SRI) on the instrument panel will come
on for about 6 seconds after the igni-
tion key is turned to the 'ON' position or
after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.
B240B02L
The airbag modules are located both in
the center of the steering wheel and in
the front passenger's panel above the
glove box.
When the SRSCM detects a consider-
able impact to the front of the vehicle,
it will automatically deploy the airbags.
