Introduction
Overview of occupant safety

effect of the forces to which occupants are
subjected during an accident.

The protective functions of the systems work
in conjunction with each other. The systems
are, however, autonomous.

cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out no later than a few seconds
after the engine is started.
The SRS components are in operational
readiness when the+ indicator lamp goes
out while the engine is running.

conducted on restraint system components
or their wiring, as well as tampering with
interconnected electronic systems, can lead
to the restraint systems no longer functioning
as intended.
