Seating and Safety Restraints
AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to work in
conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front
outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term
“supplemental restraint” means the airbags are intended as a supplement
to the safety belts. Airbags alone cannot protect as well as airbags plus
safety belts in impacts for which the airbags are designed to deploy, and
airbags do not offer any protection in crashes for which they do not
deploy.
The airbag supplemental restraint system consists of:
•
•
driver and passenger dual stage airbag modules (which include the
inflators and airbags) .
side airbags (if equipped) . Refer to Side air bag system later in this
chapter.
•
•
one or more impact and safing sensors.
the same indicator light, RCM (restraints control module) and
diagnostic unit used for the Personal safety system.
•
•
Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Fr ont pa ssen ger sen sin g
system later in this chapter.
“Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp. Refer to
Fr ont pa ssen ger sen sin g system later in this chapter.
The airbag supplemental restraints are an integral part of the Personal
Safety System. They are designed to be deployed in cases where the
Personal Safety System has determined the occupant conditions and
crash severity are appropriate to activate these devices. Refer to the
Per son al Safety System section in this chapter.
