Safety cushions – the general information

General information

All models considered in the present manual are equipped with system of additional safety (SRS) better known under the name of safety cushions. The obligatory complete set included two safety cushions. The system provides additional protection of the driver and forward passenger of the car at strong front blow.

The system consists of the SRS block with switched on in it by the sensor of the directed overloads, the control sensor, a contour of self-diagnostics and a contour of feedback. The block is located under the dashboard, directly ahead of the central console. Modules of safety cushions are built in in the central part of a steering wheel and the right part of the dashboard of the car (directly over a ware box).

Principle of functioning

Necessary condition of activation of safety cushions is operation of the sensor of the directed overloads and the control sensor. Operation of sensors leads to short circuit of a chain of modules and instant filling of pillows with gas. In case of failure of the battery operation of pillows happens due to the energy developed by the feedback knot which is built in in the SRS block.

System of self-diagnostics of refusals of SRS

The system of self-diagnostics of SRS makes inclusion of a control lamp on an instrument guard of the car at turn of the ignition key in position of ON. If the system does not find any deviations, the lamp has to go out about 6 seconds later. If shutdown of a control lamp does not happen, or the lamp works during the movement of the car, therefore, in the SRS system malfunction is found. For check of system and elimination of a cause of failure the car should be driven away on car repair shop.

Service of the knots located near the SRS components

In case of need removals of a steering wheel, or carrying out service of the radio receiver or another, located near the dashboard components try not to allow rassoyedineniye of electric sockets of a chain of SRS. Do not connect any diagnostic equipment to SRS chain at all. AT SERVICE of the SAFETY CUSHIONS of ALL COMPONENTS LOCATED CLOSE ALWAYS PREVIOUSLY DISCONNECT SRS (see below).
