What is the purpose of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and Air Bag in Subaru Outback?

Every model comes with an SRS, which is also known as airbags and the purpose it serves is to shield any driver or passenger in the front seat that may be involved in a head on collisions. This comprises of an airbag module on the steering wheel and probably another one on the instrument panel. Side-impact airbags are equipped on certain models while others have side curtain airbags and pre-tensioners for the seat belts. The cushion and inflater unit which inflate the bag instantly once an electric signal is sent are contained in the airbag inflater module located in the steering wheel. The passenger-side airbag has a housing, inflator, bag assembly, trim cover, mounted above a glove compartment. While driving along streets, there are side-impact airbags mounted to outer sides of front seat backs whereas side curtain air bags line across their headliner from above door openings. During a crash, an Air Bag Control Module sends current through wires in system & checks computer every time car starts up. When performing maintenance near components such as steering wheel etc., it becomes necessary to disable SRS systems. If you ever handle an airbag module, keep the opening away from yourself plus place it flatly with its opening facing upwards; never measure resistance of any SRS component and avoid unplugging any yellow connectors relating to your vehicle's safety bags unless you must do so otherwise. Extreme caution should be used when working around front impact sensors: do not use electric welding equipment without first disconnecting battery cables.

Subaru Outback Air Bag

The Subaru Outback Air Bag is a rapidly inflating cushion located inside the vehicle. Its purpose is to lessen injuries by creating a soft barrier that prevents the occupant from hitting the harder interior points of the vehicle during an accident. The Air Bag system operates by virtue of a crash-sensing and an electronic unit. These, in turn, determine in milliseconds whether to ignite a solid-propellant inflator. This inflator fills a flexible fabric bag before quickly venting. The first types on the Outback line followed industry leaders. That is, they evolved from large bladders that were filled with gas. The models evolved into small nitrogen-generating modules. These modules also removed toxic by-products. Subaru has over the years added passenger, side-curtain, knee, and seat-mounted Air Bag units in newer models of Outback which may house six or more Air Bag modules, all triggered individually according to impact angle and severity of any accident. The essential components remain unchanged including cushion, inflator, sensors, diagnostic monitor, steering-wheel coil, and indicator lamp that include a reserve charge to keep the system alive after the battery has been disconnected. The Air Bag circuitry of every start-up runs a self-check and the dash symbol lights briefly for the assurance of the driver that every Air Bag is ready for the single-use deployment expected in the Subaru safety design.

Our website stands as the go-to online destination for OEM Subaru Outback Air Bag.
