hearing loss. Because air bags must inflate rapidly and with 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.

WARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation or you may be

burned.

WARNING: If the air bag and safety belt pretensioners have

deployed, the air bag and safety belt pretensioners will not

function again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag

and safety belt pretensioners are 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

• diagnostic module

• and the electrical wiring which connects the components.

The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the

supplemental air bag electrical system wiring (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.
