SRS Components and Functions
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
B240B02A-D
(SRI) on the instrument panel will blink
for about 6 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started, after which
the SRI should go out.

The airbag modules are located both
in the centre of the steering wheel and
in the front passenger's panel above
the glove box. When the SRSCM de-
tects a considerable impact to the front
of the vehicle, it will automatically de-
ploy the airbags.
Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of
the airbags. Further opening of the cov-
ers then allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag in combination
with a properly worn seat belt slows
the driver's or the passenger's forward
motion, thus reducing the risk of head
or chest injury.
