Let’s talk about a part of the vehicle that most car owners wish they never need to use – the air bag system. Most every modern car comes equipped with an air bag system, also known as a supplementary restraint system (SRS). After use, the air bag will need either repair or replacement.
In the case of a collision, the air bags will deploy and protect the driver and passengers from further harm. There are a series of sensors throughout most vehicles that detect when it’s time to deploy the airbags. While maintenance on these sensors are rare and uncommon, if you do see an illuminated “Air Bag” or “SRS” light on your dashboard, don’t hesitate to have it looked at.
