SRS (Supplementary Restraint System)
Your vehicle is fitted with an air bag for the driver, located in the steering
wheel, and a passenger air bag (if fitted) is located above the glove box
compartment. Airbag(s) can be identified by the “SRS AIR BAG” label on
the airbag cover.
The airbag is a supplementary restraint system and is designed to provide
effective protection to the belted occupants during frontal collisions.
The air bag system is not visible until it is activated. The activation depends
upon the severity and direction of frontal collisions. Airbags are not
designed to activate in rollover, rear and side collisions.
Operation OperationOperation Operation
Operation
Sensors in the ECU detect the frontal collision severity. The air bag(s) are
designed to deploy only if the collision matches the criteria for
deployment.
• •• •
• The sensor switches close the circuit and the propellant rapidly burns
in a container producing gases, which fill the airbag.
• •• •
• The inflating airbag deploys out of the steering wheel in the front of
the driver and passenger air bag (if fitted) deploys out of the dashboard
in front of the passenger. This action takes place in a fraction of a
second.

The importance of being properly seated :
In a collision, the airbag inflates extremely quickly, faster than
blink of an eye and with great force.
• •• •
•If you are too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously
injure you. Move your seat as far back as possible to allow
room for air bag inflation. Never install any child restraint in
the front seat where the passenger air bag is fitted, as serious
injury or death may result from the force of the inflating
front passenger air bag. The rear seat is safest place for the
children.
• •• •
•Never place any object in front of you while you are seated
in the front seat as it may result an injury from the object
when it is forced towards you by the inflating air bag. Do not
cover the steering wheel or instrument panel with an object
which may prevent the proper deployment of the air bag.
• •• •
•Where a passenger air bag is fitted, front passenger should
never sit on the edge of the seat, stand near the glove box
compartment, rest feet or other parts of the body on the
dash board or lean over near the glove compartment when
the vehicle is moving.
Passenger should also not recline the
seat backwards such that the passenger goes beyond the
protection range of airbags.
• •• •
• The bag(s) deflate as the gas escapes through the vent holes
in the airbag cushion.

promptly.

The diagnostic system continually monitors the readiness of the
SRS AIR BAG while the vehicle is being driven. The air bag warning
light on the instrument panel will illuminate for approximately
5 seconds when the ignition is switched on. This is normal and
indicates the system is performing a self check. The following
components are monitored by the indicator.

Safety tips while driving with ABS
1) During a hard braking or when the road grip is poor, you
will feel the brake pedal is pulsating and an audible noise
in the system. This is absolutely Normal and it’s the
indication that your ABS is rapidly pumping the brakes. Do
not release the brake pedal, this defeats the purpose of
ABS. Keep firm steady pressure on the brake pedal so as
not to interrupt the braking action as long as you steer
away from the hazard.
