General Information
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
This model has an SRS which includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger's airbag in the dashboard above
the glove box, seat belt tensioners in the front seat belt retractors and side airbags in the front seat backs. The SRS unit is
separate from the airbag assembly and has built-in sensors. The following precautions should be observed when performing sheet
metal work, paint work and repair work around the locations of the SRS components.
1. 1. The SRS unit (including the safing sensor and the impact sensor) is located under the dashboard and the side impact
sensors are located in each side sill. The front impact sensors are located behind the right and left end of the front
bumper. Avoid any strong impact with a hammer or other tools when repairing the front side frame, the lower part of the
dashboard and the side sill. Do not apply heat to these areas with a torch, etc.
2. Take extra care when painting or doing body work in the area below the centre pillar. Avoid direct exposure of the seat
belt retractor and tensioner to heat guns, welding or spraying equipment.
3. SRS electrical wiring harnesses and connectors are identified with yellow colour coding. Care should be taken not to
damage the harness when repairing this area.
4. Do not apply heat of more than 100°C (212°F) when drying painted surfaces anywhere around the locations of SRS
components.
5. If strong impact or high temperature needs to be applied to the areas around the locations of SRS components, remove
the components before performing the repair work.
6. If any of the SRS related components are damaged or deformed, be sure to replace them.
NOTE: Refer to the Restraints section of the Shop Manual for after deployment procedures, and removal and replacement of SRS
related components.
