Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS): Notes
The air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat and second row outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the three-point safety belt system. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS.
This vehicle line contains dual stage deployment (advanced restraint system) driver and front passenger air bag modules, also driver and passenger safety belt retractor pretensioners. This vehicle can also be equipped with optional seat side air bags. In addition, this vehicle line is equipped with:
- A front impact severity sensor, mounted on the radiator opening grille panel.
- Side impact sensors (when equipped with seat side air bags), located on the rocker panel near the base of the B-pillars.
- A driver seat position sensor, mounted to the driver seat track.
- Usage detection switches that are part of the driver and front passenger safety belt buckles.
- A safety belt tension sensor that is part of the front passenger safety belt buckle.
