AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

1. Airbag cover

The airbag supplemental restraint system 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).

• one or more impact and safing sensors.
• the same indicator light, RCM (restraints control module) and

diagnostic unit used for the Personal safety system.
