The most effective occupant restraint system yet

developed for use in production vehicles is the seat belt.

In some cases, however, the protective effect of a seat

belt can be further enhanced by an airbag.

In conjunction with wearing the seat belts, the driver

and front passenger airbags can provide increased

protection for the driver and front passenger in certain

frontal impacts exceeding preset thresholds.

Side impact and head protection window curtain airbags

can provide increased protection to belted occupants on

the impacted side of the vehicle in side impacts

exceeding its preset threshold.

The operational readiness of the airbag system is

verified by the indicator lamp “SRS” in the instrument

cluster when turning the electronic key in starter switch

to position 1. When turning the electronic key in starter

switch to position 2 the indicator lamp “SRS” in the

instrument cluster comes on. If no fault is detected, the

lamp will go out when the engine is running. After the

lamp goes out, the system continues to monitor the

components and circuitry of the airbag system and will

indicate a malfunction by coming on again.
