Description & Operation: Notes

WARNING: Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal injury may result. To avoid accidental air bag deployment or injury, read and carefully follow all WARNINGS and AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .

Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system is designed to supplement protection provided by driver-side and passenger-side seat belts. A frontal collision of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off center line of vehicle will deploy driver-side and passenger-side air bag modules. A side collision of sufficient force will deploy side impact air bag module on side of impact. Steering column and knee bolsters also absorb collision energy.

SIR system consists of Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), driver-side and passenger-side air bag modules, front end discriminating sensor, driver and passenger side impact air bag modules, Side Impact Sensors (SIS), SIR coil assembly and AIR BAG warning light.
