How does the air bagsupplemental restraint system

(SRS) work?T he SR S is designed to activatew hen the vehicle is in a collision,sim ilar to hitting a fixed barrierhead on at 12–24 km /h (8–14m ph).

T he fact that the air bags did notinflate in a collision does not m ean

that som ething is w ron g w ith thesystem . R ather,it m eans the forcesw ere not of the type sufficient tocause activation.

T he air bags inflate and deflate

rapidly upon activation.A fter air bag deploym ent,it isnorm al to notice a sm oke-like,pow dery residue or sm ellthe burntpropellant.T his m ay con sist ofcornstarch,talcum pow der (tolubricate the bag) or sodiumcom pounds (e.g.,baking soda) thatresult from the com bustion processthat inflates the air bag.Sm allam ounts of sodium hydroxide m aybe present w hich m ay irritate theskin and eyes,but none of theresidue is toxic.

Several air bag systemcom p onents get hot after

inflation.D o not touch themafter inflation.

If the air bag is inflated,the air bag will not

function again and must bereplaced immediately.If theair bag is not replaced,the

unrepaired area w illincrease therisk of injury in a collision.

T he SR S consists of:

• driver and passenger air bagm od ules (w hich include theinflators and air bags),

•
