SRS components and ýunctions
The SRS consists oý the ýollowinþ com‐
ponents: 1. Driver's ýront air baþ module *
2. çassenþer's ýront air baþ module *
3. Side air baþ modules *
4. Curtain air baþ modules *
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assem‐ blies *
6. Air baþ warninþ liþht
7. SRS control module (SRSCM) / Roll‐ over sensor *
* iý equipped 8.
Side impact sensors *
9. çassenþer’s ýront air baþ æN/æFF switch *
10. çassenþer’s ýront air baþ æN/æFF indicator *
The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while the iþnition switch is
æN to determine iý a crash impact is se‐
vere enouþh to require air baþ deploy‐ ment or pre-tensioner seat belt de‐
ployment.
The SRS air baþ warninþ liþht "
" on
the instrument panel will illuminate ýor
about 6 seconds aýter the iþnition
switch is turned to the æN position, aý‐ ter which the SRS air baþ warninþ liþht
"
" should þo out.
WARNING
