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.

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 air bag modules (which include the inflators and

air bags).

• side air bags (if equipped). Refer to Side air bag system later in this

chapter.

• 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 warning (including the impact

sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air

bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.

Side air bag system (if equipped)

Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag

cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front

seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. Failure

to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in

the event of a collision.
