restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of airbag

deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly

restrained as far away from the airbag 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 has 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 airbag modules (which include the inflators and

airbags),

• 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 airbag electrical system wiring (including the impact

sensors), the system wiring, the airbag system readiness light, the airbag

back up power and the airbag 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 Airbag readiness section

in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is

not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

• The readiness light will either

flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not

illuminate immediately after

ignition is turned on.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and/or light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced

at your authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may

not function properly in the event of a collision.
