Is Supplemental Restraint System?

SRS Airbags (or Supplemental Restraint System Airbags) are used to offer an individual protection beyond the seatbelt in the event of a collision. ... Airbags will help to prevent the driver and/or passenger from going through the windshield. The airbag itself gets tested every time you turn on your car.

What does it mean when the SRS warning light comes on?

The car's onboard computer will turn on the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Warning Light if the system will not operate properly or operate outside of intentions. This system is designed to deploy air bags and tighten seat belts when the computer determines the car is in an accident.

How does SRS system work?

Your SRS automatically detects things such as braking, deceleration, impact location, and if there's a passenger in the front seat. It then sends the information to the Airbag Control Unit, which figures out which seatbelts to tighten and which airbags to activate.
