of the vehicle.

앫 Seat belts (컄 page 52)
앫 Child restraints (컄 page 58)
앫 Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) (

앫 Front passenger seat with Occupant

Although independent systems, their pro-
tective functions work in conjunction with
each other.
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates early detection of malfunctions.
The = indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (
컄 page 28) comes on when the
ignition is switched on and goes out no lat-
er than a few seconds after the engine has
been started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness when the = indicator lamp is
not lit when the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the = indicator lamp:
앫 fails to go out after approximately
4 seconds after the engine was started
앫 does not come on at all
앫 comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
