Introduction

SRS consists of:
• the 6 SRS warning lamp
• air bags
• air bag control unit (with crash sensors)

SRS reduces the risk of occupants coming into contact with the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. It can also reduce the effect of the forces to which occupants are subjected during an accident.
