How does the air bags system
operate?
The SRS consists of the following
components:
(1) Driver's front air bag module
(2) Passenger's front air bag module*
(3) Pre-tensioner seatbelt system
(Front/Rear)*
(4) Air bag warning light
(5) SRS control module (SRSCM)
(6) Front impact sensors
(7) Side air bag modules*
(8) Curtain air bag modules*
(9) Side impact sensors *
(10) Side pressure sensors*
(11) Passenger's front air bag
ON/OFF switch* (front passen-
ger’s seat only)
(12) Passenger's front air bag
ON/OFF indicator* (front pas-
senger’s seat only)
* : if equipped
The SRSCM continually monitors
SRS components except for buckle
sensor while the ignition switch is in
the ON position to determine if a
crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.

• Do not open or repair the side
curtain air bags.
• Do not place any objects over
the air bag. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such
as the door, side door glass,
