1-7. Safety information

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag system

triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly

fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-

pants.

SRS warning light

This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors,

side and curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies, curtain shield airbag sensor

assemblies, driver's seat position sensor, driver's seat belt buckle switch, front pas-

senger occupant classification system, AIRBAG ON indicator light, AIRBAG OFF

indicator light, front passenger's seat belt buckle switch, front seat belt pretensioner

assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (

P. 362)

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating)

SRS airbag.

A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well

as the front seats, and parts of the front pillar and roof side rail, may be hot for sev-

eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

The front windshield may crack.

Operating conditions (front airbags)

The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact is above the

designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15 mph (25 km/h) colli-

sion when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or

deform.

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes

an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on

impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in

which the front of the vehicle "underrides", or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).

It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehicle

is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front airbags and the seat

belt pretensioners may not activate together.
