Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) This part explains the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or air bag system. Your vehicle has two airbags -- one air bag for the driver and another airbag for theright front passenger. The air bags in your vehicle may be "Next Generation" reduced-force frontal air bags. If your vehicle has a label on the driver's side door window, then your vehicle has reduced-force frontal air bags. If your vehicle doesn'thave a label,then the air bags in your vehicle aren't reduced-force. Reduced-force frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating air bag. But even these air bags must inflate very quickly if they are to do their job and comply with federal regulations.
