Can anyone tell me what SRS stands for? It is on the bottom left corner of the dash near the airbag and also on the steering wheel.

Thanks
Brian

SRS - Supplemental Restraining System


To be used in conjunction with seatbelts, not in leiu of... according to the owners manual :)
 






Supplemental Restraint System

It's your airbag. It's 'supplemental' because you're still supposed to wear you seatbelt also.


BTW, that other post was not here when I posted this.
 






Thanks for your answers
 






I think its funny, some companies like to make themselves different in this area. On my Cadillac it said S.I.R. or Supplimental Inflatable Restraint.

Now though I think it has been universalized as SRS.
 






what about the toyotas? they say SR5. when i first saw that i was like " why did they put the airbag tags on the tailgate?"
 






SR5 was a trim package. I had an '82 Toyota SR5 pickup well before air bags became standard issue and it did not have air bags.
 






i know i figured that out after awhile.....

now lets see how many different terms there are for traction control. what is there LSD, ASR? what else?
 












My uncle has a '90 Acura Legend LS (very nice car). Acura called their Anti-Lock Braking System as ALB instead of ABS. Make sense...
