Knowing your vehicle
The advanced  SRS offers the  ability
to control the airbag inflation with two
levels. A  first stage  level is provided
for moderate-severity impacts. A sec-
ond stage  level is  provided for more
severe impacts.
According   to   the  impact   severity,
seating   position    and   safety    belt
usage, the SRS Control Module  con-
trols the airbag  inflation.
Additionally,  your  SRS  is  equipped
with  an occupant  classification  sys-
tem  in  the   front  passenger’s  seat.
The  occupant  classification   system
detects the presence  of a passenger
in the front passenger’s  seat and will
turn off  the front  passenger’s airbag
under  certain  conditions  in order  to
protect smaller  front passenger  seat
occupants.   For   more   detail,    see
“Occupant    Classification    System”
later in this  section.
