means the SRS airbags are operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system monitors the front airbag
sensors, center airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warning
light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to
a severe frontal impact within the shaded area shown in the
illustration.
The SRS airbags do not work in the following cases.

The center airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor
and center airbag sensor. In a severe frontal impact, a front
airbag sensor and safing sensor, or center airbag sensor and
safing sensor detect the shock and the center airbag sensor
assembly triggers the inflators. Then the inflators fill the
airbags to help restrain forward motion of the occupants.
When the SRS airbags operate, they produce an operating
noise and release a small amount of smoke-like gas. This gas
is harmless and does not indicate a fire.CAUTION:
The SRS airbag system is designed only as a
supplement to the conventional seat belt systems of
the driver and front passenger. The front seat
occupants are particularly susceptible to injury if they
do not wear their seat belts; when sudden braking or a
collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To obtain
further protection in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat
belts when driving. For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt system, see “SEAT BELTS” on
page 55.
A baby or small child who is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured in a rear seat using a child
restraint system.
