SRS Configuration
The air bag deploys if the diagnosis sensor unit activates while the ignition switch is in the ªONº or ªSTARTº
position.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS sys-
tems. For example, the driver air bag module and front passenger air bag module are activated in a frontal
collision but not in a side collision.
SRS configurations which are activated for some collision modes are as follows:
SRS configuration Frontal collision Left side collision Right side collision
Driver air bag moduleqÐÐ
Front passenger air bag moduleqÐÐ
Front LH seat belt pre-tensionerqÐÐ
Front RH seat belt pre-tensionerqÐÐ

Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load Limiter
The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed to
both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a fron-
tal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified
level occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors
is immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers
are securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat
belt web tension while maintaining force.
Built-in Type Side Air Bag
Front side air bag is built-in type.
The front seat backs with built-in type front side air bag have the
labels shown in figure at left.

INSTALLATION
1. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left (counterclock-
wise) about 2.5 revolutions from the right end position. Align the
two marks (
).
CAUTION:
IThe spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
IAlso, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable
may snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited
number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned up to
about 2.5 turns from the neutral position to both the right
and left.
3. Connect spiral cable connector and tighten with screws.
4. Install steering column covers. And make sure the harness do
not get caught between inner steering cover and steering col-
umn.
5. Install steering wheel, aligning with spiral cable pin guides, and
pull spiral cable through.
6. Connect horn connector (or horn/audio connector) and engage
spiral cable with pawls in steering wheel. Move driver air bag
module connector away from steering wheel lower lid opening.
7. Tighten nut.
:30-40N×m (3.1 - 4.1 kg-m, 22 - 30 ft-lb)
8. Position driver air bag module and tighten with new special
bolts.
9. Connect driver air bag module connector and diagnosis sensor
unit connector.
10. Install steering switches and lids.
11. Conduct self-diagnosis to ensure entire SRS operates properly.
(Use CONSULT-II or warning lamp check.)
Before performing self-diagnosis, connect both battery cables.
12. Turn steering wheel to the left end and then to the right end fully
to make sure that spiral cable is set in the neutral position.
If ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks or stays ON (at the user
mode), it shows the spiral cable may be snapped due to its
improper position. Perform self-diagnosis again (use CON-
SULT-II or warning lamp). If a malfunction is detected, replace
the spiral cable with a new one.
13. Perform self-diagnosis again to check that no malfunction is
detected.
