Your vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint (Air
Bag) System and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seating
position.
The indications of the system's presence
are the letters "AIR BAG" embossed on
the air bag pad cover in the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS consists of air bags installed
under the pad covers in the center of the

front panel above the glove box.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen

tion, the driver's and front passenger's
seat belt usage and impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine
if the driver and front passenger's seat
belts are fastened.
These sensors provide the ability to con

The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev

els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
The passenger’s front air bag is
designed to help reduce the injury of
children sitting close to the instrument
panel in low speed collisions. However,
children are safer if they are restrained
in the rear seat.
According to the impact severity, seating
position and seat belt usage, the SRSCM
(SRS Control Module) controls the air
