SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) 1 1. WORKING OF RESTRAINTS RESTRAINTS WITH AIRBAGS This restraint system falls under the category of Supplementary restraint system. SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) Air bags are the secondary restraint system as for the activation of air bag no action is required by the vehicle occupant. WARNING Every occupant shall wear seat belts whenever they drive a vehicle. This is applicable whether a vehicle is equipped with supplementary restraints systems (SRS) or not. WORKING OF SRS Whenever there is an accident, the sensor mounted remotely sends crash signal to the ECU. The type of accident and its severity, determines the time-to-fire different airbags in the system. The basic function of an airbag is to provide cushioning effect to occupants. There are remote sensors mounted for sensing different frontal and side accidents. These sensors are connected to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the system. If the input signal during the event of accident crosses the predefined threshold level in ECU, the ECU triggers the relevant restraints components in the system. This helps in providing necessary protection to occupants. The airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners are triggered through ECU signal. The load limiter in the seat belts is a mechanical device which is activated when the forces on the occupant upper body region crosses a defined force threshold limit. COMPONENTS 1. ECU 2.
