The SRS consists of the following components:


The SRS consists of the following components:

1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side impact air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator (Front passenger’s seat only)
12. Occupant classification system (Front passenger’s seat only)
13. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
14. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly

The SRSCM continually monitors all SRS components while the Engine Start/Stop Button is ON to determine if a crash impact is severe enough to require air bag deployment or pretensioner seat belt deployment.

The SRS air bag warning light " "


The SRS air bag warning light "on the instrument panel will illuminate for about 6 seconds after the Engine Start/Stop "
on the instrument panel will illuminate for about 6 seconds after the Engine Start/Stop Button is turned to the ON position, after which the SRS air bag warning light " WARNING" should go out.


WARNING

If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the SRS. Have an authorized EQUUS dealer inspect the air bag system as soon as possible.

  • The light does not turn on briefly when you turn the ignition ON.
  • The light stays on after illuminating for approximately 6 seconds.
  • The light comes on while the vehicle is in motion.
  • The light blinks when the ignition switch is in ON position.

The front air bag modules are located in the center of the steering wheel, in


The front air bag modules are located in the center of the steering wheel, in the front passenger's panel above the glove box and in the driver’s side knee bolster. When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it will automatically deploy the front air bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate


Upon deployment, tear seams molded directly into the pad covers will separate under pressure from the expansion of the air bags. Further opening of the covers then allows full inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows


A fully inflated air bag, in combination with a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's or the passenger's forward motion, reducing the risk of head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag immediately starts deflating, enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and the ability to steer or operate other controls.

WARNING


WARNING

  • Do not install or place any accessories (drink holder, CD holder, sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's panel above the glove box in a vehicle with a passenger's air bag. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.
  • When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel surface. It may become a dangerous projectile and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.

WARNING

  • If an air bag deploys, there may be a loud noise followed by a fine dust released in the vehicle. These conditions are normal and are not hazardous - the air bags are packed in this fine powder. The dust generated during air bag deployment may cause skin or eye irritation as well as aggravate asthma for some persons. Always wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild soap after an accident in which the air bags were deployed.
  • The SRS can function only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. If the SRS air bag warning light " remains on after illuminating for about 6 seconds when the ignition switch is" does not illuminate, or continuously
    remains on after illuminating for about 6 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, or after the engine is started, comes on while driving, the SRS is not working properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle immediately inspected by an authorized EQUUS dealer.
  • Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn the Engine Start/Stop Button to the OFF position. Never remove or replace the air bag related fuse(s) when the Engine Start/Stop Button is in the ON position. Failure to heed this warning will cause the SRS air bag warning light " " to illuminate.
