that tighten the front seat belts
during a moderate to severe
frontal collision.
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors the
sensors, control unit, the airbag
activators, and all related wiring
when the ignition is ON (II).
Additional Information About Your SRS
An indicator light on the
instrument panel that alerts you to
a possible problem with the
system (see page 47 ).
Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle' s electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.

How Your Airbags Work

If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, the sensors
will detect rapid deceleration and
signal the control unit to instantly
inflate the airbags and activate the
automatic seat belt tensioners.
