DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Airbag and Safety Belt Pretensioner

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

The airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is

designed to provide increased collision protection for

front seat and second row outboard occupants in

addition to that provided by the three-point safety belt

system. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the

best occupant protection and to receive the full

advantage of the SRS.
The Supplemental Restraint System contains dual

stage deployment (advanced restraint system) driver

and front passenger airbag modules. These vehicles

can also be equipped with optional side airbags that

deploy from the seats upon a side impact. In addition,

a front impact severity sensor is mounted to the lower

radiator support, a seat position sensor is mounted to

the driver seat and a usage detection switch is added

to the front driver and passenger outboard buckles.
