o For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should always wear their seat belts whether ornot an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag while the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o The SRS airbag system must de-
ploy very rapidly to provide pro-tection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the airbag mayforcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
The SRS consists of the following com- ponents:
- Driver's Airbag Module
- Passenger's Airbag Module
- SRS Service Reminder Indicator(SRI)
- SRS Control Module (SRSCM) The SRSCM continually monitors all elements while the ignition is "ON" to determine if a frontal or near-frontalimpact is severe enough to require airbag deployment.
