SRS Airbag ( Supplemental Restraint System Airbag )
The occupant detection sensors are installed between the seat and seat rails , and monitor the physique and posture of the front passenger . Using this information , the occupant detection system determines whether the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not .
The occupant detection system may not inflate the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag even when the driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag deploys . This is normal . In this case , although the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag does not operate , the front passenger ’ s seatbelt pretensioner operates with the driver ’ s seatbelt pretensioner . For details about the seatbelt pretensioner , refer to “ Seatbelt Pretensioners ” FP50 .
