Description & Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Subaru SVX and 1992 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and carefully follow all WARNINGS and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS.

Supplement Restraint System (SRS) consists of an AIR BAG warning light in the instrument cluster, 2 front impact sensors, 2 safety sensors, air bag module, inflator (located in air bag), roll connector (clockspring), control unit and associated wiring harnesses. See Fig 1 .

During a front-end collision, the front impact sensor(s) internal roller is thrown forward. The roller completes an electrical circuit and ignites the inflator to deploy air bag. At least 2 sensors, one safety sensor and one front impact sensor, must activate simultaneously to inflate air bag.
