VARNING:
As Its name implies, the SRS is designed
to work wtth, and be supplemental to, the
drlver's and the passenger's three point
seat belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts must
be worn at all times while the vehlcle is in
motion. In addltlon, the airbags deploy
only In certain frontal impact conditions
severe enough to likely cause signiflcant
Injury to the vehicle occupants.
The SRS is designed to deploy the airbags
only when an impact is sufficiently se-
vere and when the Impact angle is less
than 30° from the forward longitudinal
axis of the vehlcle and wfll not deploy in
side, rear or rollover impacts. Additional-
ly, the airbags will only deploy once.
Thus, seat belts must be worn at all
tlmes.
For maximum safety protection in all
types of crashes, all occupants Including
the driver should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an airbag is also
provided at their seating posltlon to min-
imize the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or lean

unnecessarily close to the airbag whlle
the vehicle Is in motion.
o The SRS airbag system must deploy very
rapidly to provlde protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of posltlon because of
not wearing a seat belt, the airbag may
forcefully contact the occupant causlng
serlous or fatal injuries.

SRS Components and Functions
The SRS consists of the following components:
- Driver's Side Airbag Module
- Passenger's Side Airbag Module
- Knee Bolster
- 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 blink for about 6 sec-
onds after the ignition key is tumed to the "ON"
position or after the engine is started, after
which the SRI should go out.
