considerable force, there is the risk of death or
serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye
injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants
who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out
of position at the time of air bag deployment. Thus,
it is extremely important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the air bag module as
possible while maintaining vehicle control.

Several air bag system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them after

inflation.

If the air bag is deployed,

the air bag will

not function again and must be replaced

immediately.

If the air bag is not replaced, the

unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

The SRS consists of:

driver and passenger air bag modules (which
include the inflators and air bags),

one or more impact and safing sensors,

a readiness light and tone

and the electrical wiring which connects the
components.

The diagnostic module monitors its own internal
circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical
system warning (including the impact sensors), the
system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the
air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.

Determining if the system is operational

The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument
cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the
system. Refer to the

Air bag readiness

section in

the

Instrumentation

chapter. Routine maintenance

of the air bag is not required.
