Airbags

The most effective occupant restraint

system yet developed for use in

production vehicles is the three point

seat belt. In some cases, however, the

protective effect of a seat belt can be

further enhanced by an airbag.

The driver airbag (1) is located in the

steering wheel hub. The passenger

airbag (2) is located in the dashboard

ahead of the passenger. In conjunction

with wearing the seat belts with

emergency tensioning retractors (4),

they provide increased protection for

the driver and passenger.

The operational readiness of the airbag

system is verified by the indicator

lamp "SRS" (3) in the instrument

cluster. If no fault is detected, the lamp

will go out after approximately 4

seconds; 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.
