SRS Air Bags
If the vehicle receives a strong impact from the front or side of the vehicle when the vehicle power is switched ON, the airbags inflate instantaneously and lessen the impact on the head or chest of the driver or passenger. The SRS airbag system protects occupants together with the seat belts and they are not a substitute for the seat belts. There are 5 types of airbags. Vehicles with the Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System have a sensor which detects an impending roll-over accident. The Air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide supplemental protection in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the airbags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident. Seat belt usage is necessary to:
- Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating airbag.
- Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for airbag inflation, such as a rear impact.
- Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over accidents that are not severe enough to activate the airbags.
- Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
- Reduce the possibility of injuries to the lower body and legs during an accident because the airbags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
Driver’s front airbag
The driver’s front airbag is stored in the centre of the steering wheel. When airbag crash sensors detect a frontal impact of greater than moderate force, the driver’s airbag inflates quickly helping to reduce injury mainly to the driver’s head or chest caused by directly hitting the steering wheel.
(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
The inflation of the driver’s dual-stage airbag is controlled in two energy stages depending on the driver’s seat position. The driver’s seat slide position sensor is located under the driver’s seat. The sensor determines whether the driver’s seat is forward of or behind a reference position and sends the seat position to the diagnostic module (SAS unit). The SAS unit is designed to control the deployment of the driver’s airbag depending on how close the driver’s seat is to the steering wheel. During an impact of moderate severity, the driver’s airbag deploys with lesser energy, whereas during more severe impacts and when the driver’s seat is behind the reference position, it deploys with more energy.
Front passenger’s front airbag
The front passenger’s front airbag is stored in the dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the front passenger airbag is the same as the driver’s airbag.
(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger airbag is designed to only deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
Driver and Front Passenger Knee Air Bags*
The knee airbag is stored under the dashboard. If the airbag crash sensors receive a frontal impact of greater than moderate force, the knee airbags deploy immediately to reduce impact to the driver and front passenger’s legs.
Side airbags
There are 2 types of side airbags including the side airbags for the driver and front passenger and rear passengers.
Front seat side airbags
The front seat side airbags are installed in the outboard sides of the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbacks. When the airbag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the system inflates the side airbag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side airbag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger’s chest caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger side airbag is designed to only deploy in accordance with the total seated weight on the front passenger seat.
Rear seat side airbags*
The rear seat side airbags are installed in the rear pillars. The rear seat side airbags on the side where the vehicle is hit deploy regardless of whether or not an occupant is seated.
Curtain airbags
The curtain airbags are stored in the front pillars, side edges of the roof, and the rear pillars. The curtain airbag on the side where the vehicle is hit deploys regardless of whether or not an occupant is seated. When the airbag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the curtain airbag inflates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the driver and front and rear outboard passengers’ heads caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
In a side impact:
Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause the curtain airbag on that side only to inflate.
(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
In a roll-over:
In response to a vehicle rollover, both curtain airbags inflate. Both curtain airbags will be deployed after the roll-over accident is detected.
Constant Monitoring
The following components of the airbag systems are monitored by a diagnostic system:
- Front airbag sensors
- Crash sensors, and diagnostic module (SAS unit)
- Side crash sensors
- Airbag modules
- Seat belt pretensioners
- Airbag/Seat belt pretensioner system warning light
- Related wiring
(With Driver and Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
-
Driver seat slide position sensor
-
Front passenger occupant classification sensor
-
Front passenger occupant classification module
-
Front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light
-
Front passenger seat belt buckle switch
The diagnostic module continuously monitors the system’s readiness. This begins when the vehicle’s power is switched ON and continues while the vehicle is being driven.
Warnings and Cautions for Using the SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Seat belts must be worn in air bag-equipped vehicles.
Depending only on the airbags for protection during an accident is dangerous. Alone, airbags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate airbags can be expected to inflate only in the first accident, such as frontal, near frontal or side collisions or roll-over accidents that are at least moderate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.
Children should not ride in the front passenger seat.
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child could be hit by a deploying airbag and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is more likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side airbag in a moderate collision to the front passenger side of the vehicle. Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years or under on the rear seats with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child’s age and size.
Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an airbag that could deploy.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly dangerous even though you may feel assured that a front passenger airbag will not deploy based on the fact that the front passenger airbag deactivation indicator light illuminates. The child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and moved violently backwards resulting in serious injury or death to the child.
Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger airbags.
Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger airbag modules or placing hands or feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front passenger airbags inflate with great force and speed. Serious injuries could occur if someone is too close. The driver should always hold onto only the rim of the steering wheel. The front seat passenger should keep both feet on the floor. Front seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
Sit in the centre of the seat and wear seat belts properly.
Sitting too close to the side airbag modules or placing hands on them, or sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dangerous. The side and curtain airbags inflate with great force and speed directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give the side and curtain airbags room to work by sitting in the centre of the seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where airbags deploy.
Attaching objects to the airbags or placing something in the area where the airbags deploy is dangerous. In an accident, an object could interfere with airbag inflation and injure the occupants. Furthermore, the bag could be damaged causing gases to release. Always keep the deployment area of the airbag modules free of any obstructions.
For example, you should not do any of the following as it may interfere with airbag deployment.
-
Do not put a covering on or lean anything against areas such as the dashboard and lower portion of the instrument panel that blocks the passenger front airbag and knee airbags.
-
Do not use seat covers on the front seats and rear seats equipped with in-seat side airbags.
-
Do not hang any backpacks, bags or pouches that cover the sides of the seats that block the side airbags.
- Do not place any objects on the assist grips. Only hang clothes directly on the coat hooks.
Do not touch the components of the supplemental restraint system after the airbags have inflated.
Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the airbags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very hot. You could get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment in your vehicle.
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplough, or winches, is dangerous. The airbag crash sensor system could be affected. This could cause airbags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the airbags from inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension.
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
