• The air bag system is a device that supplements the passenger restraint function of the seat belts. The air bag system will not have the designed effect if the seat belts are not worn properly.

• The air bag system is composed of the following parts:

Item

Outline

SAS control module

•  Recognizes actually equipped air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt based on module configuration.

Crash zone sensor

•  Detects degree of impact, converts to an electrical signal, and sends the signal to the SAS control module. For operation, refer to SAS control module, Air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt deployment operation. (See SAS CONTROL MODULE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION)

Side air bag sensor

Driver-side air bag module

•  Adopted to improve safety in lateral collisions.

Passenger-side air bag module

Side air bag module

•  Chest-protection type side air bag module is used in accordance with the adoption of the curtain air bag module.

Curtain air bag module

•  Adopted to improve safety in lateral collisions.

Pre-tensioner seat belt

•  Ball-type pre-tensioner seat belt has been adopted.

PAD switch

•  PAD switch has been adopted enabling optional deactivation of passenger-side air bag module, passenger-side side air bag module, and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt.

PAD indicator

•   PAD indicator has been adopted to inform driver and front passenger of the deployment standby status of the passenger-side air bag module, passenger-side side air bag module, and passenger-side pre-tensioner seat belt.

Air bag system warning light

•  If the SRS air bag system operates normally, the air bag system warning light illuminates for approx. 6 s and then turns off when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. If a malfunction is detected in the SRS air bag system, the air bag system warning light flashes (DTC output) or illuminates to alert the driver.
