The purpose of the SRS is to provide
greater protection to the driver and
the front passenger than being pro-
tected only by the seat belt system in
a frontal crash of a sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about occupants' seat
position, seat belt fastening and
impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors verify
whether an occupant's seat belt is
fastened or not. These sensors con-
trol the SRS deployment with the
information, such as fastening of a
seat belt and an impact severity.
The advanced SRS controls the air
bag inflation in two levels. The first
level is provided for a moderate
impact. The second level is provided
for a severe impact.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly fasten a
seat belt may increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the front passenger's seat
occupation and deactivates the front
passenger's air bag under certain
conditions. For further information,
refer to "Occupant classification sys-
tem" in this chapter.

Passenger’s front air bag
When the occupant classifica-
tion system does not properly
operate, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light will illuminate on
the instrument panel. This is
because the SRS warning light
is connected with the occupant
classification system. When the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when turning ON
the Engine Start/Stop button,
when it remains illuminated
approximately 6 seconds after
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON, or when it remains
illuminated while driving, have
an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the advanced SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING
Do not place any objects under
the front seats, as they may
interfere with the occupant clas-
sification system.
WARNING
2-57
Safety system of your vehicle02
(Continued)
No objects should be placedover or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove
box, because such an object
may cause harm in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the pas-
senger's seat. These may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
Do not modify or disconnect the SRS wirings or other SRS
components.
Doing so may result in injury,
due to an accidental air bag
deployment or the deactivated
SRS.
When the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
while driving, have an author-
ized EQUUS dealer inspect
the air bag system as soon as
possible.
Air bags can be used only once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
The SRS is designed to deploy front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe, and when the impact
angle is smaller than 30° from
the forward longitudinal axis.
In addition, air bags will inflate
only once. Seat belts must be
fastened at all times.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front air bags are notdesigned to deploy in
side/rear impacts or a rollover.
In addition, front air bags will
not deploy in a frontal crash,
when an impact severity is
below the deployment thresh-
old.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must
never be installed in front. An
infant or child may be severe-
ly injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat. In
case that a child over the age
of 12 is seated in the front
passenger's seat, the child
must be properly fastened
and the seat should be moved
to the rearmost position.
To maximize protection and to minimize the possibility of
serious injury or death in all
types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always fasten a seat
belt regardless of the air bag
installment in their seats. Do
not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to an air bag while the
vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)
Air bags may not inflate, when avehicle collides with objects such
as utility poles or trees, where the
impact point is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and there are no parts you can
safely maintain by yourself. In case
that the SRS air bag warning light
" " does not illuminate when turn-
ing ON the Engine Start/Stop button,
or when continuously remains ON,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
The SRS system, the steering wheel,
the front panel, the front seats and
the roof rails must be installed,
repaired, maintained or removed
only by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er. Improper SRS modification may
result in serious personal injury.

Modification to SRS compo-nents, such as a bandage
addition to the pad covers, or
other modifications to the
body structure may adversely
affect SRS performance and
result in injury.
Not only the modification of the area, where the SRS sen-
sor are installed, but also the
modification of other areas
may affect the SRS perform-
ance and result in possible
injury.
When cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft and
dry cloth, or the one soaked
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners may adversely affect
the air bag covers and prevent
its proper deployment.
