Where Are the Air Bags? 
Driver's and passenger's frontair bags 
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts
at both the driver and passenger
seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which
are located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel, and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the let-
ters "AIR BAG" embossed on the
pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone.The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, the
SRS Control Module (SRSCM) con-
trols the air bag inflation. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can
increase the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
