WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–2
General Description
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use
the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a
fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may
be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those
requiring thread locking compound will be called
out. The correct torque value must be used when
installing fasteners that require it. If the above
conditions are not followed, parts or system damage
could result.
Restraint Devices
827RW006
Legend
(1) Deployed Air Bag
(2) Knee Bolster
(3) Seat Belt
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps
supplement the protection offered by the driver and front
passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the
center of the steering wheel and from the top of the right
side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a
frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the
centerline of the vehicle. To further absorb the crash
energy there is a knee bolster located beneath the
instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and
the steering column is collapsible.
