Main Menu Table Of Contents Additional Information About Your Airbags Your airbag system includes: Two SRS (supplemental restraint system) airbags. The driver's airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the passenger's airbag is stored in the dashboard. Both are marked ''SRS AIRBAG'' (see page 22 ). Automatic seat belt tensioners (see page 18 ). Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact. Sensors that can detect whether the driver's seat belt and the passenger's seat belt are latched or unlatched (see page 16 ). A driver's seat position sensor that monitors the distance of the seat from the airbag. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will inflate with less force (see page 24 ). Weight sensors that monitor the weight on the passenger's seat. If the weight is about 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight of an infant or small child), the passenger's airbag will be turned off (see page 24 ). A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors and records information about the sensors, the control unit, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and driver and passenger seat belt use when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position. An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with your airbags, sensors, or seat belt tensioners (see page 25 ). An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the passenger's airbag has been turned off (see page 26 ). Emergency backup power in case your vehicle's electrical system is disconnected in a crash. Driver and Passenger Safety 2008 S2000 21
